That is correct king_of_cool_kids. If Patchou gets enough support for realsing the code for Messenger Plus! 1.42, hes has said he will release it.
Just read his first post to this thread Here

RE: Let's talk again about code sharing
yeah. I just did. Some really good comments.

Here is my opinion:

Pros: People will be able to develop from it and produce new things to share with people.

Cons: Someone might steal it, find a flaw (dought there is any) and sell it for money.

There are many more but those are the biggest ones. I am for it but it is a bog dission. You need to think about it lots!!

O.P. RE: Let's talk again about code sharing
Don't worry, bodoby will really be able to "steal" anything.. as I said in my first post, Messenger Plus! 1.4 is not compatible with Messenger 6 at all and so much work would be involved in making a Messenger 6 compatible addon with nice features that it couldn't be considered "stealing" anymore :). That's why I thought it was a good idea in the first place.. it's safe for everyone and with a lot of good things to learn :). Of course, I may be wrong about the second statement and that's one of the reasons why I'm waiting for everyone's posts.

i vote yes, share it
it will help beginners like me try and learn from pro's

just like skateboarding, ask dom., u try so hard and then when a pro comes along you try even harder and he respects you for it :)

ps: make it a poll?

Its a nice gesture to the developers, i say go for it, but i also suggest you think about the idea of a module-based plus a bit more :)

Module based Suxors completly as people can just rip into Plus and Patchou would get hounded from the first time someone made a dodgy module

At least if he releases the old source he can cover himself as it contains nothing harmful (Well i hope it doesnt )  And like he said it gives people the ideas not the means to make an add-on

The only thing harmful you'll find is my code is the structure itself.. I'm almost ashamed to release this old thing. One thing is for sure: I'll have to rework some parts of the code before I make it public or everybody will see me as an amateur :).
