* Original homepage (http://www.awesome-studio.tk/) taken over by squatters. I get various redirections, including one which generated a malware warning. * The `url` points to an anonymous cloud.app user. * The macupdate page referenced as `homepage` points to the same cloud.app download. It seems that nobody is vouching for this binary. Historical awesome-studio.tk is also blocked from the Wayback Machine. We have no information about the provenance of this app, and should not include it.

@vitorgalvao, you might want to read this, as it pertains our general inclusion policy. (The fast merge was made in the interest of user safety.) |

I did, @ndr-qef (thank you for the ping), and agree. I’ve only checked that it wasn’t crashing and admittedly forgot to check the links. MacUpdate does host a link to it, though. Should we trust that one? |

Going further to cc all @caskroom/maintainers . @ndr-qef said in IRC that this Cask is "effectively malicious", which seems right. This would be a good way to disguise an attack. @vitorgalvao the macupdate link is just a redirect to the cl.ly url in the deleted Cask. I take that to mean that macupdate does not stand behind this binary, and even if so, they are not the author and have not read the source. |
