Sandboxie is now Freeware - to be Open Source - mizzmona - Nov. 04, 2019 05:51 AM

From Sandboxie.com:

Quote:Sophos is excited to announce that we are making Sandboxie a free tool, with plans to transition it to an open source tool.
...
Until the open source transition is completed we have decided to make all restricted features of Sandboxie completely free.

Unfortunately, the current forums are minimal. The original forums are gone, and it's unknown if they'll make a comeback. (Another irreplaceable archive, one that still had the posts by the original software developer and an accumulated ton of valuable info on usage. Yeah, it bites. What a familiar feeling.)

Anyway, I do hope that a talented developer or two (or ten) will step up and continue developing it -- and not just because I'm still using it, but because it's yet another small but substantially powerful and highly useful program. (Thanks, Ronen.)
