What ever happend to Holger Kruse?
He got a descent haircut, met a beautiful girl and lived happiley after ? ;-)
Now serious, AFAIK it all started with H&P claiming that 3.5 would contain an
unrestricted copy of Miami without having an agreement with him.
In the end it shipped completly without Miami (*), or just with the demo.
People got pissed at Holger over that (remeber that was a time before info became
so easily available as today), and felt they had the right to get their key in any way.
Holger introduced some hefty and controversy anti-piracy meassurs (pretty much
the same #### as later in WinXP), which offcourse had the same affect as all the old
copy-protection on games, pirates where even more motivated to crack and spread.

The only connection to the community of today that I know of is that he works for
Rebol, and that BBRV have asked Carl Sassenrath for a MOS-native Rebol. Wether
that will actually happen, and if it'll be done by Holger is beyond public knowledge.
(*)The very 1st batch of CDs sold on the Cologne-fair that year came completly
without Miami. That annoyed me so much that it became the starting for
pushing my A2000T more an more to the side, till I finally packed it away in
1999. Only to dust it off again in mid 2001, when I heard about the soon to
be released Amithlon.
