    Thanks for the link. I didn’t think he’s in the least interested in Lemmy. Unsure why he’s upset that someone else took the ball that he wasn’t interested in and ran with it.

      Think about it. If you’d given so much of yourself over to crafting and honing an app like Apollo over the years and all that happened, happened… would you not be a tad deflated and exasperated?

      I don’t blame him. Let him cool off for about 5 years. He’ll see it as a tribute one day.

      Because there’s a stark difference between “playing ball” as it were, and essentially trying to make an identical ball without permission.

        A ball is a ball. The idea to make a spherical object cannot be copyrighted. Unless the Voyager dev somehow copied Apollo’s source code, there’s not a bloody thing that Christian can do except grumble and snark.
