Sandboxie 決定開源

Sandboxie 目前是 Sophos 旗下的產品,主要的功能是在 Windows 下產生一個獨立的環境 (沙箱) 執行某些應用程式,而這些應用程式的變更雖然會被記錄起來,但不會影響到系統本體,所以先前也買了一套起來拿來跑一些程式...

剛剛看到消息提到 Sandboxie 決定要 open source:

Sophos is excited to announce that we are making Sandboxie a free tool, with plans to transition it to an open source tool.

然後目前看起來還在整理程式碼,在整理完之前會直接先解放目前的版本,讓所有功能都免費使用:

Until the open source transition is completed we have decided to make all restricted features of Sandboxie completely free.

不過沒看懂 open source 的原因...
