I wonder what Miami's legal status is. Is it now abandonware?
 


Unless stated otherwise by Holger, it's still copyrighted to him.
AFAIK, legally there is no such thing as abandonware.

Yup,I know what you mean. It sounds just like a little kid shouting "I'm going home, and I'm taking my football with me."

 I can understand Holger being peeved when he found his hard work being pirated left right and centre, and the accusations of a backdoor must have been the final straw.
 But, he should have known that by not taking registrations, his work will be pirated even more. So why not release it as freeware or whatever?

 Then again, I never tried to register Miami, I always found Genesis to be better. MiamiDX just had more features that I didnt need, and was slightly slower on my AriadneII.. plus Genesis came free with my network card!
