Yes, the Brave one surprised me when I saw it.

While I am not a techie, I had thought it was 'open source' software which is supposed to be verifiable by all who wish and care to inspect the code. It is both on Github and SourceForge but we'd need to have some real techie dig into the most cornered details of this beast to see if it is compromised or not.

Like you (from what I gather), I have my own doubts because it is now owned and controlled by DCG.

I think we need to at least put on its users' radar that this is the case.

Thanks for weighing in.
