• Strong Keep -- UPX is a very well known open source project, anybody familiar with computer security, forensics, or reverse engineering will have heard of it. -- taviso 13:21, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Well, it does read like an ad. Is there anything interesting we can say about this compression program? If not I'd prefer to have it merged to a comprehensive list. Radiant_* 14:38, Apr 12, 2005 (UTC)
• Strong Keep. Notabple software. N-Man^talk 15:30, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep - as a programmer, I've heard of (and used) this software. It's quite well known in the programming community. We have entries for notable open source projects like gcc, emacs, and GIMP, so precedent would seem to argue for keeping the article. It should be cleaned up and expanded.

• Delete Well-known bit of software, but if this is all we can say about it, it's no better than any of the other adspam we see. Chris talk back 22:00, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, clean up and expand. Megan1967 07:17, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and expand. Given the number of computer programmers who contribute here, I predict this will grow rather quickly. - Lucky 6.9 05:15, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
