[Gambas-user] About kbasic

Hi Daniel,

Yes I know... I was involved in the project writing some major parts of 
the documentation and translations of the former Website. Everyone 
working on it was sad when Bernd suddenly declared he would discontinue 
working on the thing and seemed to disappear from the project "due to 
personal reasons".

Some guys tried to continue, but nothing really happened until one day 
Bernd came up on the still existing mailing list with the news he had 
worked on the project all the time for himself and now planned to sell 
it "because he had worked so hard on it" and nobody had helped him 
anyway. Suddenly it appeared that a lot of people were still on the list 
and there was kinda protesting before he switched it off.

So much about KBasic. Well, it was GPL and it is his right to use the 
stuff for commercial things, but someone should maybe discuss with him 
the name KBasic I think. All the K-stuff (as far as know) is open 
source, and now KBasic isn't any longer. I could imagine, the K-team 
minds him using this name.
