looks like a ups or general store to me :zippy:
Yes, hence it is a PO Box. It is the official postal address of Yuna Software and has been for many years.

Just as there are other PO Boxes from other companies at that same address. And before people start jumping to the wrong conlusions: no there is nothing fishy about it. A PO Box is a very official address usually located in a post office, ups store or other postal service building. Hence why there are usually many companies registered at the same address.

don't talk crap
There is nothing crap about what Rolando has said though, he is correct.

Almost every single contract you sign in the real world contains some sort of disclosure act. This is especially true for businesses and contracts involving ownership change etc. There is absolutely nothing strange about such contracts. Such NDAs which limit what you can share are extremely common. This is how the real world works...

What sometimes is crap are some of the speculations and conclusions some people come up with.
eg: crap like this:

We have said before that there is nothing hush hush about the change. Many info is available (about the change, why the change was made and what Patchou's role is in all of this), including Patchou's own words about the matter. If they wanted to hide behind Patchou's name, why do you think the info that is available, is available? Why would every reference in Plus!, the forums and website state 'Yuna Software' instead of 'Patchou'?, etc...
If they wanted to hide behind the name 'Patchou' you wouldn't see 'Yuna Software' printed everywhere.

So stop being an idiot, and before 'thinking' something, read what has been said before, and look at the real existing stuff instead of fabricating all kinds of bull shit which you can not back up in any way.

how do you know what changes will be made in the new update....
We don't know the exact details of the contract between Patchou and Yuna Software and to what exact extent Yuna Software can make changes. But what we do know is that there _are_ limitations to what they can do with Plus! (again, hence this is not a complete sell-out). They do not have all the freedom in the world, they are bound to contracts too.

This said, it will always be possible to uninstall Plus!, that would be plain common sense.

with the current situation i.e. no real public announcement, people will just think that they should upgrade to the newer version since they haven't been informed of any major changes
Why on earth should they not upgrade???
The whole point of this change is that Plus! can be developed further. If Patchou wouldn't have done what he did, then there would be no Plus! anymore, at all.

I very strongly encourage to first read Patchou's statement on his blog.
