Recently the author of atscap attempted to revoke the "GPL v2 or later" license of his software. Because of specific rights granted by the GPL v3(2). Because his actions are in contravention of a strict reading of a license, we have chosen to mirror a copy of the last version of atscap we were able to get.
If you're really stupid enough to send us a takedown notice, I might recommend abuse@sosdg.org, but more than likely, we'll probably comply, send you back a counternotice, and repost it in ten days, at which point you can sue us, and pay our lawyers.
So why are we doing this? To spread the word about copyright and licenses. There are a lot of people in the free software community that talk quite a bit about licenses, and don't have a clue what they're doing, or why. Understanding copyright law and the GPL itself is critical to protecting the freedoms granted to users by the GPL.
The SOSDG is interested in hosting anyone who wants to continue to maintain this codebase, as the software does appear to be pretty useful if you have a TV capture card.
