Hello, It sounds like you are questioning the logic of my convictions, which is OK. Perhaps you are doing so, but it would be best to judge me based on when I had some say or control. Concerning Autodesk, I was never in the high management (my choice). I did however work as a programming manager in Marin, California until 1989, and the only incident concerning accreditations was that a documentation specialist had removed an accreditation that I had put in the Lisp programming manual about the origin of the software. As soon as the guy complained (and I found out) the citation was put back in.
After 1991, I was in Autodesk Europe, and so had no input to the parent company, and it was that year that the management changed from being the founders to Carol Bartz. I cannot tell you what happened in Autodesk after 1993 since I went on long term sick leave in 1993 never to return to work. If they have hidden something, it is too bad. On the other hand, Autodesk being a commercial company, like all other commercial companies does not have much interest in publishing where products come from and the source is not open. It is a pity, but that is a much bigger problem than what I am dealing with today. I converted to open source in 1998 so I would hope that it is the period after that when one should judge what I have done concerning open source and open development. I am sorry, I have no idea what Drafix is. If you meet me, I would be interested to hear your story.
