I make developers aware.  Marcus was aware.  He made a few mistakes.
You don't believe him.

That's fine.  We don't believe your public flogging was the kind and
right way to approach this whole problem.

But the issue is over.  The code has been entirely deleted.

I hope you are happy.  I am sure Marcus is not happy, because he's
thrown away about 800 hours of hobby work.  But it is easier for him
to just abandon this, based on the strength of your initial mail.

I mean, if I were him, why would I bother going on, when there are
accusations about copyright being based on white space, variable
names which are the same, or simple "save the registers" algorithms
which you feel are too similar.

I'd say he did the right thing to give up.
