Mwongozi was one of many readers to note that "the NY Times is reporting Justin's resignation from Nullsoft, and more details can be found in his weblog. One has to wonder whether this has anything to do with the WASTE fiasco."
That's the point...

I kinda thought it was a given it had to do with waste...
The company controls what I do with my code [in the past, it seemed I had
freedom, but it turns out all of that was not really the case--rather, I
was somehow avoiding the control illicitly (for 4 years)
I think about 500 people came up with that at about the same time. It's funny but it's not that clever. Do you work in the amazon.com patent department?

It has to do with more than just WASTE. He stated that the company controls what he does and that coding is a form of free expression to him. He basically doesn't want the company to control his free expression. WASTE is just one example.
Not just WASTE... sounds like you agree with the parent then, which stated:
This has everything to do with WASTE and any other projects that AOL canned.
Can it be inferred from his resignation that Waste can be used? Will Nullsoft poste Waste again? Stay tuned. Same Slash-time. Same Slash-channel.
In case it gets Slashdotted

June 2 2003 @ 10:03pm For me, coding is a form of self-expression.
It's probably the form I'm most effective at.
Everything I code is arguably owned by the company.
The company controls what I do with my code [in the past, it seemed I had freedom, but it turns out all of that was not really the case--rather, I was somehow avoiding the control illicitly (for 4 years)]
The company controls the most effective means of self-expression I have.
This is unacceptable to me as an individual, therefore I must leav.
I don't know when it will be, but I'm not going to last much longer.
I have nothing but respect for the company--I've just come to realize that it is time to do something different.
May 31 2003 @ 3:00pm or so Moving my.plan here. Finger has been firewalled on genghis for weeks since the (lame) network rebuild, so it's hosed.
The last few days have been, erm, interesting, it will be, erm, interesting to see how they end up panning out. But I'm feeling pretty good, though like usual feeling misunderstood. I'll try to clear it up next week.
At Ian's suggestion been listening to Slint a bit. Good shit. So funny that one of the guys from Slint is now in Zwan, and Zwan sucks so hard. Well, they rule as musicians, but their songs suck. I don't want to listen to christian rock.
Winamp 2.92 will have CD ripping support, with support for OGG. OGG VBR at 0.0 sounds pretty decent, listenable, at like 60kbps. I'm pretty impressed with it.
Yesterday driving home I listened to CowboyNeal - Zero a couple times. Such a good song. So simple. Mmmm.
It must be nice...
