    J'ai lu l'article:

    Larry explained that a contracter still under pay from OSDL for an unrelated project was also actively working on reverse engineering the BitKeeper protocol. Discussion began about five weeks ago to try and resolve the situation, getting so far as to obtain a verbal agreement that the individual would stop his efforts. After that time, however, it turned out that the reverse engineering effort had continued. Although OSDL wasn't directly paying for the reverse engineering effort, they were still employing someone who was actively developing a competing product, something the free BitKeeper license doesn't allow.

    Donc UN mec employé d'OSDL a fait du reverse-engineering et ça n'est pas dans le cadre des activités pour lesquelles OSDL l'emploie. La réaction de BitMover est compréhensible, mais à mes yeux exagèrée.

    Si un jour on découvre que pendant ses temps libres un employé d'une société X pirate des DVD, on sanctionne la société ?
