Synergy 2.0 GUI goes closed source

7 points by EgoIncarnate 8y ago ↗ HN

After become a paid (but still open source) product, Synergy 2.0 (the mouse and keyboard sharing application) is now becoming closed source (for the GUI).

"Synergy 2 is partially closed source, so there will be no tarball that includes the new user interface. Our master branch on GitHub is where you'll find the Synergy 2 open source component (which we're calling Synergy Core)."

Looks like they are also removing the windows service / daemon parts (synergyd executable source code has also been removed, but is still used in closed source version), so the open source version might now require you to be logged in before it will to work.
