Web 2.0 We here at OSNews take open source software seriously. That's why, today, we're making our site's source code available to the public. While some sites have inline SQL statements, embedded passwords, afterthought modules, and sensitive data embedded into their pages, at OSNews, we have a strict system that employs no hacks whatsoever to extend functionality. This is why our site rarely changes look-and-feel and rolls out new features slowly, only after they've been rigorously tested. This code is offered under the BSD license: feel free to use it as you wish! So, today, we're proud to offer you the code that powers OSNews.com. Be sure to start with the README file to get started! Enjoy responsibly.

The date embedded in the version code should've thrown you..."4.1".

Well played Adam (& Company). ;)

That's funny, but actually, OSNews really is on version 4.1. Just a funny coincidence.

This was an action undertaken by Adam himself. Despite the team's best efforts to keep Adam under control, to ensure he would lead a relatively normal and untroubled life, he has gone rogue.

We are no longer responsible for his actions.
