Well other, bad examples also exist. "Digiware" for the rather unknown
"Falcon"-TNC is one of them. Poeple made slight modifications within the
software and refused to install bugfixed versions of "Digiware" since
they didn't wanted to redo their changes. As a result, the German
network still suffers from frequent, nasty hiccoughs once one of these
nodes starts to feel unhappy again...
BayComNode (ceased) is another example. Someone took the source and
created a clone called SNET, iirc. The original author, Florian, DL8MBT
then decided that searching for other peoples bugs was not worth the
effort and kept the source of sequel releases for himself.
Gruss,
