Notability
Several sources to prove that it is indeed notable:
[http://articles.techrepublic.com.com/5100-10878_11-5053915.html] [http://www.askvg.com/tutorial-all-about-resource-hacker-in-a-brief-tutorial/] [http://windowsitpro.com/article/articleid/25797/how-can-i-change-the-windows-xp-or-windows-2000-boot-screen.html]
Even Microsoft acknowledges the program:
[http://sharepoint.microsoft.com/sharepoint/worldwide/cn/south/Vista%20Logo/Windows%20Vista%20%E2%80%93%20Certified%20for%20Windows%20Program%20Test%20Cases%200.9.doc]
Many would-be reliable sources seem to have disappeared over the years (as this program was made over 7 years ago), but I believe that this is more than enough to establish the notability of Resource Hacker. The author also claims more than 3 million downloads have been made, but I can't exactly verify that claim. The program is also discussed in endless amounts of tech-oriented forums and blogs on the web. GraYoshi2x►talk 21:56, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
Date given for the author's statement re: source code.
"In 2011 the author stated that he would neither release nor sell the source code."
I've been checking the Wayback Machine archives of angusj.com/resourcehacker, and the author had actually made this announcement a long time before 2011. It's on the earliest archived version of the page (dated July 4th 2005) and may have been there for a long time prior to Wayback finding it.
His exact words were "Please don't ask for the source code, I'm not releasing it, nor is it for sale."
