When the use of his program became controversial, McVoy responded with distraction. For instance, he promised to release it as free software if the company went out of business. Alas, that does no good as long as the company remains in business. Linux developers responded by saying, &ldquo;We'll switch to a free program when you develop a better one.&rdquo; This was an indirect way of saying, &ldquo;We made the mess, but we won't clean it up.&rdquo;
