The Business Software Alliance may have put it best, in their page on anti-piracy (http://www.bsa.org/usa/antipiracy/): "Software pirates not only steal from the companies that make the software, but with less money for research and development of new software, all users are hurt. That's why all software piracy - even one copy you make for a friend, is illegal." Software piracy is a serious crime, and one that the Open Source community has been remarkably lax in pursuing and protecting against. This is why Twisted Matrix Laboratories is taking the forefront in Open Source software registration technology. In order to do your part to prevent the tragedy of unregistered, unlicensed software, all you need to do is go to http://www.twistedmatrix.com/license and enter your user information to obtain a license key. You can provide us with as much or as little information as you like!

What is Twisted? ================ Twisted is an event-based framework for internet applications. It includes a web server, a telnet server, a multiplayer RPG engine, a generic client and server for remote object access, and APIs for creating new protocols and services. Twisted supports integration of the Tk, GTK+, Qt or wxPython event loop with its main event loop. The Win32 event loop is also supported, as is basic support for running servers on top of Jython. Twisted currently supports the following protocols, all implemented in pure python, most of them as both servers and clients: - FTP - HTTP - SOCKSv4 - SMTP - IRC - telnet - POP3 - AOL's instant messaging TOC - OSCAR, used by AOL-IM as well as ICQ (client only) - DNS - LDAP (client only) - finger - Echo, discard, chargen and friends - Twisted Perspective Broker For more information, visit http://www.twistedmatrix.com, or join the list at http://twistedmatrix.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twisted-python
