Softwindows was written by Insignia under license from Microsoft. Insignia got the deep access to Windows source code. In return Microsoft got significant rights to Insignia's code. FWB owns the SoftWindows product, but they can't sell it as such because their license with Microsoft is not valid. It's a complicated IP tangle.

(made more so by the apparent criminal activities of the previous
management)

So Bruce, were you meaning Insignia or Microsoft?... ;-)

actually, neither. I was speaking of FWB.
