Very good to know. Does anyone know the status of the Truecrypt forks? Although it has proven reliable and doesn't need a lot more functionality, it will eventually break without further development.

There is a lot of discussion on the license on the VeraCrypt forums.
It's completely reasonable to ask people to stay away from the TrueCrypt name in my opinion, so that his software's reputation would not be tarnished if amateurs or problem-causing people took over the TrueCrypt name.
I wish the TrueCrypt end was handled better, but it's unique situation has some educational value.
Well right, they're not a fork so it's not the same kind of problem if they use the name. They're a fansite.
TrueCrypt,the binary application may break without further development but its on-disk format will continue to thrive as more applications pick it up as a mean to support cross platform encryption format.
