    I know that it's heresy to say this on slashdot, but it sounds like things were running pretty fine until rabid open-source zealotry reared its ugly head.
    I see nothing ugly about a guy's desire to use free software, and to put the work in to make it happen, in fact it is exactly the spirit that drives the free software movement.

    On the other hand, I see plenty that is ugly about BitMover trying to impose the terms of their license on a guy who apparently didn't even use their software to build a free replacement for it.
