##Update: May 2015
**Fed up with the f\*\*king legal threats.**
![image](https://i.imgur.com/sxmizIy.jpg)
This was started late 2011 as a research project about a popular messaging app/protocol, quickly named it WhatsAPI and open-sourced. Since then many people got invloved (in a good way: contributing, and a bad way: copying without giving proper credit, profiting off, etc...).
Among people who were involved: legal firms and counselors, sending all sorts of letters and documents, DMCA, Cease and Desist, informal threats and so on.
So besides having no time or interest for the core project anymore, and not benefiting at all, not from this or from the work derived from it, comes more aggressive letters citing lengthy Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) clauses and requiring compensation among other ridiculous demands and/or threats.
