Consider the assertion that a client contains an unfair feature that is hidden. Now try to refute or test that assertion. That process is falsification. The process relies on evidence, in the form of source code (for your client), the build process, and the binary. It also relies on experimentation with the binary. I'm not saying your client has any unfair feature, though I imagine others might want to argue the point ... what I'm trying to get as is the process needed to declare it fair. I've not reviewed the build process for your client, nor have I experimented with it. I've occasionally reviewed source code changes. -- James Cameron mailto:quozl at us.netrek.org http://quozl.netrek.org/
