Notability

Latest comment: 15 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Several sources to prove that it is indeed notable: [1] [2] [3]

Even Microsoft acknowledges the program: [4]

Many would-be reliable sources seem to have disappeared over the years (as this program was made over 7 years ago), but I believe that this is more than enough to establish the notability of Resource Hacker. The author also claims more than 3 million downloads have been made, but I can't exactly verify that claim. The program is also discussed in endless amounts of tech-oriented forums and blogs on the web. GraYoshi2x►^talk 21:56, 26 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

Date given for the author's statement re: source code.

"In 2011 the author stated that he would neither release nor sell the source code."

I've been checking the Wayback Machine archives of angusj.com/resourcehacker, and the author had actually made this announcement a long time before 2011. It's on the earliest archived version of the page (dated July 4th 2005) and may have been there for a long time prior to Wayback finding it.

His exact words were "Please don't ask for the source code, I'm not releasing it, nor is it for sale."
