@iesushartz@mastodon.social Yes, VeraCrypt is Free Software although there are some people who have some reserves about the TrueCrypt License that VeraCrypt inherited from TrueCrypt.
Like what we did when forking TrueCrypt, people a welcomed to fork VeraCrypt and make any change they want without any constraints, provided that modified source code is released and that references to VeraCrypt or IDRIX are removed.
#VeraCrypt 1.24-Update4 is out. It fixes regressions and brings some changes. Windows users are advised to update if they use RAM encryption to avoid issues when creating volumes or using Expander.
