From f6142ba29b9398d03ad56b5e2db03c5ec9fcba44 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Simon Tatham Date: Sun, 18 Apr 2021 17:03:01 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Disavow putty.org in the FAQ. A user asked recently whether it was our website, and that seemed like a fair question. It isn't, and we should make that as clear as we can. --- doc/faq.but | 10 ++++++++++ 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+) diff --git a/doc/faq.but b/doc/faq.but index fcadaa0e..eaecbf58 100644 --- a/doc/faq.but +++ b/doc/faq.but @@ -1154,6 +1154,16 @@ inactive.
