I wanted to make one comment about the recent board commotion about GPL code:

I know you guys have your hearts in the right place. Open Source software is very important for advancing technology, especially for the little guy, and we at enTourage respect that and are excited to participate. I feel like we have already explained ourselves and satisfied the crowd that the rest of the GPL code is on the way. But please keep in mind for the future however, that when dealing with small start-ups like ours, don't squeeze so tight that you end up hurting them. Like most start-ups, we're just busy people trying to deliver a high quality product.

We'll make a post in this dev board when the rest of the GPL code is posted to the website.


As previously explained, you got squeezed because when we (by we, I mean I) requested the code, and was shot down rudely and told my request was not legit, before I ever made any squeeze attempt. Then my name was compared to a video game character by an employee of enTourage. I had no intent on squeezing anyone, my intent on coming here was to ensure interoperability on some applications, and help a friend with an issue.

Don't pretend you got squeezed out of the blue, it was a reaction to staff actions. I don't really want to bring this up again, but I am also not going to let the results be blamed squarely on us (me).
