More like ndas all the way down 🙂 I worked for Microsoft for 20 years on internal enterprise support, mostly with product and platform developers and partners like SAP, Apple and everyone’s customers. I got all the technical training, and secrets, and signed nda’s with everyone, for products that still have license and support revenue, which is the indefinite part. There is too much to sort out, and I see possible overlap with your project.
If the project is a flappy bird clone, I don’t care. But I get that there are people depending on gnustep for livelihood.So even with a low probability, I think the risk to you is too high to get involved with your project on any kind of technical level.
