OpenPoker, a scalable poker server written in Erlang, is public on GitHub

Not wanting to be a dick, but you could have chosen a less misleading name for the software considering it doesn't meet the Open Source Definition.

There are also some poorly written, hasty implementations of machine learning algorithms written in Matlab.<p>I only mention this because it is pertinent to the reason why I am up at this hour reading Hacker News.

This is quite an interesting piece of software, however I keep wondering why it remains so restricted when it comes to licensing.<p>Also, do you still plan on working on a Ruby version of OpenPoker? I am quite interested in how you would go about designing such software with Ruby, since there isn't really an OTP-equivalent.<p>Thanks.

I like how a language invented 20 years ago for writing telecom switch software is now used for <i>poker servers</i>.

That's pretty sweet. Don't forget to hide yourself a back door in case any future poker rooms are built on top of it.

Very excited to study this code. Thanks Joel!
