That is not true, in the image that we got there are other files that
belong to Nightwing. For example it has /etc/config/bmx_mode,
/etc/hotplug.d/iface/20-nw_change, /sbin/nw_conf and of course
/etc/init.d/Orion.

The image that we receive is not old, is from this month (April, 2009).

For how long have you said the same thing? Post them.

What contribution have you done to Nightwing, besides what was
acknowledged? You assisting US?

For ROBIn, I can't speak.

Your attitude and the way you proceded by publicly denying the fact
that you used Nightwing's code, and after we check that you didn't
respect the GPLv3 license of our firmware (and the thing that happened
with the documentation) was enought.


         Saludos, Julio
