Today's news say MLNS has been cancelled ...

Lycos used the screensaver to revive the discussion about spam.

It would be OK to base an OS project on it, but within a 100% legal scope.

That's not true, it will be returning. From what I hear it's just a rumor.

i wouldn't suggest running it- it is after all a ddos attack and you isp mite get angry.
(mine did... for obvious reasons.)
this project was doomed from the start-
i liked the brief moment to let spammers know how peod i am- (let off some steam)
i do not plan on using an open source version in the future- nor should one b developed.

It would be abused if used as open source.
