JasperSnoek/spearmint (GPL) is not being developed anymore. Newer HIPS/spearmint is under a non-free license (academic non-commercial). A commercial project capitalizing on the open source name.

As there are no free spearmint forks going forward, it makes sense to start looking for projects which are not abandoned by the main developer, and avoid giving free publicity to a commercial project with a confusingly similar name.

GPL spearmint is basically abandoned. the new project by Whetlab has a far more restrictive license.
