Please explain how I have removed Rick Goldbergs(and Sun's) credit from the project?

Of course we mention our involvement in the project, we have spent 5 months working on it.

I don't find your posts useful so I don't read them. But when they start mentioning web3d consrtium activites and what they imply that means I must read them, especially when you start using a project dear to me as support for some viewpoint. After those statements reach the level of open accusations about theft, well you can expect vigorous replies. I would like to appolgize for the langauge used and I notice that Justin has done the same. I have just returned from JavaOne so this is the first I have read of the matter. Beyond that I beleive what Justin has posted is accurate and I will let him speak for himself, brisk manner and all. -- Alan Hudson President: Yumetech, Inc. http://www.yumetech.com/ Web3D Open Source Chair http://www.web3d.org/TaskGroups/source/ =========================================================================== To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff JAVA3D-INTEREST".
