Plans to open source?

Open mrexodia opened this issue 5 years ago • 3 comments

Hello,

Are there any plans to open source pe-bear? I like the tool and would like to do some minor quality of life improvements, or since it's Qt maybe do a plugin for x64dbg. On your blog you commented that the source would be available after some time, but this was 6 years ago :slightly_smiling_face:

Best regards,

Duncan

what is the main reason for not releasing the source code?

what is the main reason for not releasing the source code?

the reason is simple, it is my old code that was not maintained for several years (I am starting to do it now) and I am not happy about its quality.

I am deeply sorry for this long delay, my TODO list is list is like a priority queue, and so many other things are more urgent and overtaking my time. I have other projects too, which need to be maintained, and of course I also need to do the paid job. Finally, when I have some free time, it is also tempting to spend it learning something new, and poking around in directions I didn't explore before, rather than refactoring the old code. Limited resources, that's it. If many people need this, I can give it a higher priority though.
