    <p>You can still use CVSNT, only you won't get any new release directly from March Hare. Any previously released community edition is still usable without any license issues, because it was released under the GPL. If someone redistributes newer CVSNT code (as GPL permits so), you could get it and compile it yourself.</p> <p>You can avoid the ad message in the logs following instructions <a href="http://march-hare.com/cvspro/faq/faq3.asp#30" rel="noreferrer">here</a> and using -M instead of -m (you may need to patch any cvsnt client/frontend you may be using). If you compile from sources, you can remove it altogether.</p> <p>There is anyway an open question if March-Hare is violating the GPL itself. They release binary distribution (their trial...) without source code, and without any way to get it. GPL asks binary distribution to make source code available, and there's no exception for "trial edition".</p> <p>Their new "high performance" closed source proprietary server looks to be tied to the GPL CVS code in a way that probably violates the GPL (they themselves say one can't work without the other), and it could be a reason why they made source code so difficult to obtain.</p> <p>Their now below the radar of any FSF supporter I guess, no one cares about CVS much today, and thereby I guess they feel free to milk the cow until it dies.</p> <p>EVS is an attempt to write a new server using a database backend and supporting different clients (CVS, SVN, etc.), but as now it looks to have stalled, March-Hare no longer promotes it much, and anyway I would be very careful to buy anything from a company that has so little respect for someone else license.</p>
