The driver has been deleted. I personally believe that you made a very poor choice by publically attacking a developer who did not even have working code yet. You chose not to mail him privately and point out your concerns. Marcus has chosen to give up. Can you please stop mailing us about this? It's over. Your beloved license has been protected, and it's over.
