Hello Will,
I am Geoff, the creator of FileArts and the brother of Peter, the creator of k4bb. I am glad that you have taken a renewed interest in our old hobby. However, I am a little confused about your online statements.

You claim to be "One of four" of the original developers. This is patently false knowing that my brother and I developed this together in our free time. Neither he nor I remember a Will helping us. Perhaps you could clarify if you went by some alias at the time that we might be familiar with.
I took the liberty to download your 'new' beta of k4bb to see what, if any, changes you have made. As I was looking through the modification timestamps, I noticed that only a very select few files had been changed since 2006. On a hunch, my brother did a diff of your 'release' compared to a copy from the
BerliOS repository. I would encourage people to have a look at
http://codepad.org/POfsdML2 to see the output.
What has changed? Peter's copyrights on some files have been changed to Will's without a single substantive change. Other changes include binary changes to thumbs.db (oops, another Windows developer). The final two noted changes are in header and footer templates/graphics in the same dubious vein as the aforementioned changes.
Perhaps, I am way off-base and there is something very innocuous going on here but I am worried that this may be an abuse of the open source philosophy and my brother and my hard work.
Please explain,
Geoff Goodman (b1ind)
