You think it might have something to do with the looming specter of impending lawsuits, like the Stratasys vs. Afinia ?

No more sources. It is free but not open source any more.
No words on what the plans are - but I noticed there is now a 'pay for customised version' (99 Euro)- basically applying the config changes (Support links, Version Tags, etc) one used to do themselves...
I'm really busy so haven't had much time to gather responses.... but suffice to say its being played very quietly (subtle changes to Licence wordings, words around the Apache 2.0 license scope) and the only 'official' comment is the vague comment I unearthed above (I went digging when I noticed none of the past months worth of builds had turned up on GitHub).
Not sure on my feelings about it being taken closed source... I'll have to wait till the end of the week when I have some more time available to research further whats going on.
I guess it means there wont be any more RH's from Solidoodle until they stump up that 99 Euro every year to become 'advertisers' on repetier's website.... The software itself is apparently intending to remain free to individuals.
What a month.. KISSlicer goes out for a loooong and potentially permanent lunch... and now RH goes closed-source....
Stay tuned peoples... Strange things are afoot at the Circle K....
