Title: Why CIYAM is simply "not understood" (hint - this was on purpose) Post by: CIYAM on February 24, 2016, 03:45:38 PM The CIYAM project has got a lot of criticism about being extremely hard to understand and I'd like to explain exactly why this is.
Initially the project was a closed source one originating from Australia (where I grew up) but once I moved to China in late 2006 I decided that due to the problems of enforcing copyright in China (i.e. no chance) that I would need to make the software "hard to understand" (a sort of security by obscurity approach). So when I created the initial open source version of CIYAM it inherited years of such development that I had worked on in China (around 6 years). I no longer actually support the ideas of patent and copyright so I actually don't care too much now about that - what I worked out how to do was to just make a software system so difficult to understand that those things are irrelevant (no-one has even bothered to try and fork my project and modify it).

Of course this it the right place to tell everybody. Go on! |
