But, he benefits from stuff pointed out here (like the recent 'Star Wars' logo info) and other OT projects benefit from stuff he points out.
So information *is* freely traded, and there is enough info around for any of us to incorporate (or not) into our own projects. I'm glad Mike continues to share his findings, and that is why we share ours, as between the OT community it adds to the information available for us all to utilise.
I'm looking forward to the update.
