그건 그렇고,
IRC 사용을 하는데 필요한 Client로 대부분 mIRC를 사용하시지만, mIRC는 쉐어웨어라서 어느정도 평가기간 이후에 사용하면 저작권 침해로 단속 대상이 됩니다. 물론, 집에서야 아무 문제가 없겠지만요.
저도 평가기간에 끝나고 구매를 해야하나 고민하다가 찾아본 프로그램 중에 mIRC와 UI가 비슷한 Freeware 가 있어 소개합니다.(License가 $20 정도 밖에 하지 않지만 활용도를 생각하면 좀 아까운 생각이 들어서.. 그돈 있음, 트랙커에 기부를.. )
프로그램은 Visual IRC 이구요.
가장 큰 특징은 mIRC랑 UI가 그나마 비슷하면서 Freeware다. 정도..
