I have decided to send this e-mail to the mailing list, because it failed
to deliver to Mr Gus Lindberg.
Thank you all for your comprehension!

Hello Mr. Lindberg.
My name is Carlos Ferreira and I would like to ask for you assistance in a
matter, involving a persona that uses the alias Outback Dingo.
I'm asking for your assistance because I decided to Google the e-mail
outbackdingo en gmail.com and I stumbled upon an article at the Nightwing
development page URL
<http://nightwing.lugro-mesh.org.ar/doc/corriendo_dingos/en/>

This e-mail is a forwarding of a dialogue that started at the FreeBSD-net
mailing list, but became personal when I was contacted directly by the so
called, outback dingo.I only noticed that we were no longer talking through
the mailing list, when I saw that the emails were not going to the mailing
list.

Here's my problem. I'm a PhD studdent at the University of Aveiro and I was
about to send some information regarding my work that is not published, but
before doing that, I decided to find some information about this person.

By reading the information on the Nightwing  website, it seems that Outback
Dingo did some straigh-forward plagiarism and violated GPLv3.
What I wanted to ask is, do you have more information about this person? I
hope that the information I passed is not enough for him to use my work,
the same way he used yours.

I hope you can help me.

Thank you for your attention,
Carlos Ferreira.

Forgot to mention that, when I have a full version implemented in C, yes it
will be opensource.
Currently I have a Python version. It's slow obviously but it works as a
proof of concept (minus a few bugs on the Path Discovery system) :)

By comparison, I would put it closer to Netsukuku rather than OLSR or
similar.
