    Starting to sound like a group meeting. Hello, I’m Mike. And I have used fast.

    Bias aside, I personally don’t see much unethicality due to the project being developed mostly as a homebrew project without intent to commercialize. Certainly would expect a shout-out in the credits, but beyond that people helped freely as part of a homebrew community. That’s what the community is about to me. It’s not about one platform or another, or picking a side. Any homebrew project could go commercial. Id cheer them all on, it’s not a easy feat to pull off. If Elwin got community advice developing archer, should he have canned the whole design once starting at stern?

    Furthermore the author had no choice if he was going to market this. He’s stuck with PpS and Pps has a license deal with FAST. It’s not like he intentionally went behind peoples backs, deceiving the PROC community this entire time. If multimorphic had the license deal with PPS this kit would be on PROC. But they don’t.. by no fault of the author.

    It would be hard to spend years on a project not thinking of it as more than a personal hobby project, only to be approached by a company asking to market it and then say ‘no’ due to a hardware platform requirement. Most people would not turn this down. Maybe most people don’t have ethics, I dunno. Maybe some ethical expectations are too high, I dunno. Holding grudges isn’t worth the energy..But that’s just my opinion.
