Marcus sure wanted it, and he's been working on it for 6 months. But some person on the net who does not know how human beings react when they are called thieves implied he had purposefully stolen code, and he's so saddened that he is going to throw all that away. > > Are you living in > > a cave?

Lost interest? I guess you didn't read the commit message. revision 1.89 date: 2007/04/05 16:25:25; author: mglocker; state: dead; lines: +1 -1 After been attacked by Michael Buesch <mb@xxxxxxxxx> because we initially were using some of their routines in the bcw driver, I decided to stop working on it. To avoid any further license chit chat I plain drop the driver. Note it's 89 revisions, over 6 months. Yeah, he lost interest. Just like years ago you lost interest in being a loving caring human being who knows the impact of their words. Either he's a thief, or he lost interest.
