Editing TrueCrypt (section)

===End of life and license version 3.1===
28 May 2014 announcement of discontinuation of TrueCrypt also came with a new version 7.2 of the software. Among the many changes to the source code from the previous release were changes to the TrueCrypt License — including removal of specific language that required attribution of TrueCrypt as well as a link to the official website to be included on any derivative products — forming a license version 3.1.<ref name="truecrypt-archive">{{cite web|url=https://github.com/DrWhax/truecrypt-archive/blob/master/doc/License-v3.1.txt|title=truecrypt-archive/License-v3.1.txt at master · DrWhax/truecrypt-archive|website=GitHub|date=28 Mar 2014|access-date=23 Jul 2018}}</ref>

Cryptographer Matthew Green, who had help raise funds for TrueCrypt's audit noted a connection between TrueCrypt's refusal to change the license and their departure-time warning. "They set the whole thing on fire, and now maybe nobody is going to trust it because they'll think there's some big evil vulnerability in the code."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/truecrypt-goes-way-lavabit-developers-shut-it-down-without-warning-1450467 |title=TrueCrypt Goes the Way of Lavabit as Developers Shut it Down Without Warning |date=29 May 2014 |publisher=Ibtimes.co.uk |access-date=1 June 2014}}</ref>

On 16 June 2014, the only alleged TrueCrypt developer still answering email replied to a message by Matthew Green asking for permission to use the TrueCrypt trademark for a fork released under a standard open source license. Permission was denied, which led to the two known forks being named [[VeraCrypt]] and CipherShed as well as a re-implementation named tc-play rather than TrueCrypt.<ref>{{cite web |last=Green |first=Matthew D. |author-link=Matthew D.
