Should the link be http://rattlecad.com/ instead of the archive?

Looks pretty cool. With a recent release. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RattleCAD

Summary: it's a bicycle design tool, went from open source to proprietary in 2019.




I think there's an argument to link to both. Since the OSS version was posted I think it's good to note the author's updated version even if it's no longer OSS. Looks like they want 30€/yr, which is far from extortionate if it's a good tool.

To be clear, in the description on Internet Archive page all this info exists, including active link to "new official site" and a link to Wikipedia article, I've wrote, where all the story of rattleCAD development has been described in details.


At €30/year they're underpricing their tool.


the archive.org page says:

> Since release of rattleCAD 4.0 it turned into proprietary sotware, all the old source and binary files has been removed from its page on SourceForge, and a new official site has been launched.
