This sounds spurious to me, but I'd need to hear both sides to be certain. Is the script specific to the Catalina and does it just implement an existing feature within OSG? It would seem to me that particles are an existing feature of OSG so the feature has not been created by anyone but just used for the first time. Like I say though, I'd need to hear both sides of this argument, which doesn't seem to be in the spirit of Open-source.
