a) Site is down, google cache is here http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:NBcmXVo...

b) The license file on GitHub does not mention GPL, a time frame or something even remotely related to the post - looks like some sort of shareware license.

c) If it's a good product today, will it still be a good product in 3 years? In today's version? I doubt it.

Still better than just selling binaries, but not by much.

The README.txt does: https://github.com/boyter/searchcode-server/blob/master/READ...

Yeah that tripped me up too. The article had no links so I clicked the tweet on top, checked out the license file, saw nothing of the sort, and as a last hope scrolled through the readme. There at last.

Something for me to fix. I will sort this issue out over the next few days.
