According to Kevin Kinsey: > Hrm, perhaps. One interesting question: if it's commercial code, it's > proprietary, right? And so how exactly is said developer using BK's > commercial code if it's not available to him? If he has signed a NDA, He is using the binary to handle his projects, stored in a BK repository. I don't think he has access to BK source code (that was removed years ago from BM's site). BM is afraid he might try to find some internal information about BK, that's all. BM is now so unsure that they can keep their technical advance (ha !) that they try to block the competition. > that's a different issue, of course. No need for an NDA, just a commercial license which doesn't have the « don't use BK to write a competitor » entry BTW so McVoy is really lame. -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- FreeBSD: The Power to Serve! -=- roberto@keltia.freenix.fr Darwin snuadh.freenix.org Kernel Version 7.9.0: Wed Mar 30 20:11:17 PST 2005
