"Other" folder

You'll notice that the apps are getting more optimized now. Specifically, the icons aren't in the source directories anymore and the source nsi files reference the icons in the appinfo directory. The splash screens look pretty bad at 256 colors as they use several gradients. The next OpenOffice.org release has a source directory of only 174k.

Legally, if you distribute a GPL licensed binary, you are required by law to also make the source code available from your own servers ('from the same location') or include a written offer and mail it to folks for a period of no less than 3 years from when you last offered the binary. Referencing another source of the code, like the main site, is not sufficient. If you're unwilling or unable to meet these requirements, then you have no legal right to redistribute the binaries. It's all part of the same agreement.

So, we make all the code available from PortableApps.com for the apps. And we include it within the packages for other distributors. It's easy for us to do that as they're small bits and it saves us from having to police other sites about our code (except for the blatant ones that rip it off and pass it off as their own, of course). And, it ensures that the source is released for each release and doesn't get lost anywhere along the way.

You can create a batch file that you'll place within the PortableApps folder, with this instruction:

for /f %%i in ('dir /a:d /b') do rmdir /s /q %%i\Other

This will delete all "Other" subfolders.

Anyway, I'll advise you to make a backup of your drive before trying for the first time this solution (if you're going to do). I don't want you to lose your data because of me
