Specific "Closings" relating to Earth & Beyond Classic.

I will mirror here what is posted on Marco's blog at http://marco-enb.blogspot.com/. The viable "open source" source code that we were given at the onset of this ordeal is now posted as a true open source download at the following website link.

This is the current, cleaned up, version that works. As of this release, and until further notice, Classic will not be releasing any additional versions for public download. We have agreed to the possibility of releasing operational binaries at a later date. As responsible developers we have decided that closure of the code will lead to the elimination of possible acts which would jeopardize our existing project. What this does for the individual wishing to set up their own server is this... It will give them a 100% operational platform with no additional requirements to execute a server. The reason for the source code closure is this. We are now installing "trade secrets" and rewriting code to streamline this system. Since we are "Paying" for portions of this, our development team is now under non-disclosure agreement. The Net-7 code- as it exists- is open source, GPL or Creative Commons License. This is the code that was promised to you by the other team which WE now deliver.

The code that we now in possession of and work with is not copyrighted to any other individuals except the entity which is now in possession thereof. This server is being 'ported' to a different and consistent language for streamlined performance.

The second "closing," is this blog to comment. Those of  you who have used this form to spit and rant and point fingers have done so at everyone except those who really are to blame -- yourselves! So this blog is now closed to comment. To those of you who have been supportive  and are now playing and helping to support our community, we thank you. We ask that that you join our Pr-Operational Moderated forums at http://enb.tarazedi.com/. There is where you will find the initial gathering of those that will be playing side by side with you on the "Dawn" server.

Thank you all again,
