My links around post 289 should still work.

So they do. 
A lot of dead links in this thread. Guess this code is on hold for the foreseeable future. These copyright/rights/ownership issues with the community code could easily kill this product if not wrangled in some fashion down the road. Perhaps conversion of the text based code to a binary compilation before installation would chill out the edgy coders.
Thnx, Sebastien, for your help.
Difficult to say what would be the best approach. It would be sad to lose such a great integration as this one. @cybrmage did some really awesome work on the Broadlink integration and the HVAC Manager. I personally use it every day to control my Fujitsu mini-split and a ceiling fan.
As it stands, it is indeed currently unsupported, but works great!

Yes, @cybrmage and his work will be greatly missed.
sorry it might sound very silly - i have not been able to see from where to copy code. when i go to list of update underneath and click on any version ( 41,42,50 etc ) it open and say google drive page not available
You can find some working links up at post 288
I can confirm that @knr's solution to the new Mini3 IR learning issue works! I was even able to get one to learn codes that had originally been setup and cloud locked by the newer Broadlink app. I was able to reset the device and re-add it to my network with the IHC app.

Andy I'm just wondering, how common (or uncommon) is it to share code like this without any license info in the code files themselves?
It's quite unusual for an author to NOT put any kind of license in their code.
But, obviously, it is the authors choice.
Andy
Thanks, in the absence of any license info ever being posted, I'm trying to get an understanding of whether there is some generally accepted, default understanding of whether the code can be shared.
The author shared the code publicly, without restrictions on access (e.g. no paywall, no registration required), didn't state whether there were any restrictions on reuse or further sharing/posting of the code, and then stopped sharing the code apparently without any explanation or further statement re: continued use or sharing/posting of previously available versions.
Edit: in case it wasn't obvious enough, I have literally no firsthand knowledge of how this stuff works, so your (much more informed) opinion is appreciated 
.

I see @cybrmage was here a few days ago. and now the thread title shows "WITHDRAWN".
I am surprised that he hasnt posted. 
That was me. Simply a reflection of the apparent reality.
I'm sure we would all appreciate some kind of clarification from the code author. Unclear if that will ever happen 
.
Edit: just in case it's not clear. I don't believe that @cybrmage owes us anything. Neither continued access to the code itself nor even an explanation. I'm just puzzled by the deviations from what seem to be norms when sharing code like this with others (never posted any licensing info in the first place, did not explain why the code was withdrawn or whether continued use/sharing is acceptable to the author, etc.).

I feel it's up to the author to make the decision setting the title to Withdrawn. Kindly change the title to [Released, Unsupported].

I think "withdrawn" is appropriate because the author no longer permits downloads of his code.
Edit: Anyone else providing links to their archives of @cybrmage's code is doing so without the author's explicit permission to do so.

That was my thinking. The author made the code available in one place only, but removed it. Seemed like a step beyond leaving it publicly available but no longer supporting it.
I am certainly open to further discussion though .

Yes, but not explicitly prohibited by any licensing terms.

Yup. I agree. There are other community projects that have apparently become unsupported. But the code is still available (typicaly on Github). That is not the case here. The code was never available on Github. It was never available under any open source license.
While they are well-intentioned, I think all those offering @cybrmage's code elsewhere are being disrespectful of his decision to not offer it anymore.

I think no one should assume what his wishes are. He can state them if he chooses to.
You may be right, you may be 100% wrong. No one knows, and as such your position is no more valid than theirs - as any position is based on assumption.

Yeah - I'm not going to get drawn into a copyright argument here.
No assumptions here. He has chosen to no longer make it available.
