Hi Mark, I have no issue with people using something in new and interesting ways. Adding a small wrapper around a large library, and asking for a bounty is in a rather different category from that.
At least this is honest work. You should see some of the sleazy ways people have made money from my code. In the present case, there is no real issue. I think only one entry on that T.38 bounty page was ever going to pay anything, anyway. Regards, Steve Mark Hamilton wrote: > I agree.
