Probably goes back when the AROS Devs found out the loop hole in the APL/MPL that allow any seperate files from APL code to be exempted from the APL. Like what is being done with FireFox/Timberwolf code, only the actual MPL files are being released to the public. This explains why some of the devs from those days went to LGPL/GPL for any new AROS code. I can't blame in the least either.
That was not even my biggest gripe; it was that we needed to beg everytime we wanted the most recent version of the files that actually fall under MPL And a special arrangement had to be made with Georg Steger so he could filter the MPL code from their source repository and put it in the AROS one. According to the MPL it is the programmers task to release the source code.
To talk about infighting; I never liked the way BBRV seems to work and do business. He/they seemed never to be able to develop and market a product without stirring the pot and creating a lot of infighting.
