I don't get why you say this. If the Cendio code has been removed from the new codebase then it has no effect. This is done all the time as I explained. There are many commercial offerings that have an open source base. And all the time these commercial offerings have to remove pieces of code from authors who do not want their code in the commercial part. It is exactly analagous to the situation here. And that is why I asked, since the Cendio code was removed, what is it that Peter is complaining about? What code, what file?
