Re: [sleuthkit-developers] Subject: Industrial sabotage

[Giuliano r. <rus...@gm...>]

Hello RB,

If i can tell you the truth, i ve read the posts on the PTK Mailing list on
SF and i disagree with you. I would suggest you to read the mail you sent to
this people and objectively try to put yourself in their shoes. Of course
you are free to do whatever you want with your time, but i dont think is
fair  if you say that you are wasting your time with them and that there is
no reason to waste time either (this is what your email says)  They are
hardly working on the project, they have a mindset (by the way the license
model is similar to many others in the forensic field) that could be wrong
or right but, i mean: let them work in the way they think is right. Give
them suggestions, not drastic comments . I am not their advocate but knowing
them (Who knows Dario, also know that he is a great and frendly guy), and
having read the email you sent them, i think that if you got such an answer
there is a reason.
Anyway, the bottom line is that i don't think people here are interested in
these silly things. I use PTK and it works, and it filled a gap in a very
good way. Maybe you (and other people like you) should look at it just in
this way.

Best

Grusso

Subject: [sleuthkit-developers] Industrial sabotage

I have been accused of many ugly things, the least of which are likely
inappropriate for this forum.  This is the first time I've been
(obliquely or not) accused of industrial sabotage:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_name=C52BD82E.28F72%25dario.forte%40dflabs.com
.
 For those unfamiliar with the project, it's a new-this-year forensic
front-end based wholly on your software.

Those few of you who know me know what a farce the accusation is and
that my intent is far from trolling.  Even so, for the combined sins
of publicly contesting their license and criticizing their
unwillingness to collaborate, I have both times attracted the [rather
belligerent in my estimation] attention of the sponsoring company's
founder and have now been blacklisted from the project.  I therefore
am evidently a troll and have someone's friends in NYC that would be
more harsh with me.  [thisjustin: One of my new short-term goals is to
avoid both Italy and NYC.]

I wish PTK the best of fortune; they are doing some very interesting
things and my only desire was to be of assistance.  It is unfortunate
that the discussion was made personal; I had no intent to allow it to
become so, but it seems the only option to avoid that was to simply
not interact.  I do expect an... agitated... response from the same
party, but will not pollute your lists further with this petty tiff;
my only intent in mass-posting was to make record of the truth and
raise awareness of an interesting new project that thus far only seems
to have gotten its meatspace interface wrong.

Thanks for all the fish (but not 'so long')!


RB
