I _believe_ ago's tinderbox isn't being paid by the GF _anymore_ due to this reason, but he keeps it running with his own expenses. I don't mind this as long as the results are desirable and not phony. I still see a lot of value in most of ago's work. It is unfortunate we don't get to see the engine behind and copy it, since I'd be really interested in using his automated bug search / report tool. Even tattoo (https://github.com/arthurzam/tattoo) lacks that at the moment. -- juippis
