      On 26 Jan 18 08:28:05, Wilfred Van Velzen said the following to Nick Andre:              WV> NA> nor can I open-source it as I made a gentlemans-agreement with Chris       WV> NA> never to do so.       WV>        WV> Maybe Chris can change his mind after all these years? Opensource has a muc       WV> bigger impact in the world today, then it used to have when you took over.       WV> Have you asked him lately?              Its not that black and white.              Lets just say that D'Bridge users for the most part, enjoy having "one neck to       strangle" when things go wrong. They enjoy seeing it worked on by someone       who actually uses it to run a large mail-hub system.              They like having the ability to directly talk to the programmer or have the       programmer fix whatever problem for them in real-time via. remote-access.              Users tend to fall in love with their programs. Its hard to keep that love        when someone forks it, changes or remove functionality without reason, doesn't       understand that the "quirks" are there for a reason, or generally doesn't care       about the users.              Nick              --- Renegade vY2Ka2        * Origin: Joey, do you like movies about gladiators?
