and no one is going to go chasing down GPL violators who live in a third-world country and are not readily identifiable. the GPL or any other open source license would be unenforceable in this situation.

micromanaging an open source project -- especially a popular open source project -- rapidly becomes a full-time job. the larger the project becomes, the more of a time-suck it becomes for the BDFL.
again, if you want something that's open source, try hashkill or john the ripper.

I think this is the only thing that most of users would be interested in if hashcat was open-source, but making such a SDK would be more than enough and it would be really appreciated.
Please, could someone react on my post ?

I think if open souce is impossible,
we all compromise a little, I only hope open interface to us ,but no all source code, so we can add new Algorithm to it,

Yes, it would be a nice compromise.

My opinion regarding this whole matter: I enjoy using cats they way they are, no changes in software license are needed.

you know what else is a nice compromise? not having to pay money to use the program.

Hmm, what is the reason for having proprietary but not payed software ? I'm very happy to see atom doing all of this for free, but I see no point in keeping free software proprietary.
I don't know, but normal developer would be really pleased to see how is his project popular and how users want to contribute a make the project bigger.

And this is the point where the thread goes in circles.
