You don't know that.  I've fixed a lot of bugs in your stuff
that I'm not yet prepared to share.  One of the things that stops me
is that I do not want someone else to incorporate my work into a
product that is sold under a restricted license, certainly not if I
have to sign away my rights to it.

I have repeatedly pointed out to people that if they want any sort of
response from you guys, they will probably need to buy a license.



As far as the comments about "no one undertands GNU ld",
what can one say other than that ignorance abounds?
