Goodbye Sylpheed-Claws, Hello Claws Mail
Tuesday, November 7th, 2006Today we changed the name of Sylpheed-Claws to Claws Mail, as we move further from our Sylpheed origin. This will help those people who still mistakenly think that Sylpheed-Claws is the development or bleeding edge version of Sylpheed – which it ceased to be a long, long time ago – and will stop people referring to Claws as 'sylpheed', (which is something that began to bug me more than it should have) – it is even packaged as 'Sylpheed (claws version)' for one distro. There is little that is shared between the two anymore, they don't even share the same license: Sylpheed is (partly) LGPL whereas Claws Mail is, of course, GPL – there's nothing lesser about Claws Mail.
Goodbye Sylpheed-Claws, Hello Claws Mail.
