#14Good. I have downloaded and viewed a lot of WD movies with torrents (I'm a near homeless man in Italy, no money to buy/rent DVD). Now I can give back something contributing to the open source project.

#19Just an FYI: Always be careful! I opened up a couple of these repos and some seem to have modifications on their licenses. Some like OpenEXR say "BSD" but don't actually have a license file. Others like, Ptex and Partio, have no mention of a license at all. Edit: For anyone wondering why this is an issue.
