The problem is that some users wanted the beta releases
to be treated in the same manner as his stable releases, which is not what
DiSlord intended. That's why the public releases were always marked as beta
and only released to this forum for users who wanted to contribute towards a
final stable release.
From what I read some users just wanted edy555's code licensed using GPLv3 to be released in accordance with the terms of the license which says modified source code is to be included with ANY firmware release that is made available to others. The license terms are clear and it is not fair to the original author (edy555), other contributors or in the spirit of "open software" to do otherwise. It would not have been that difficult to put the modified source in with their firmware in a zip or rar file. That would have met the license terms and avoided all the controversy.
I think it is a real shame like you that OneOfEleven and DiSlord have packed it in. Hopefully they will reconsider.
