We didn't get the project (for various reason that had nothing to do with Ada in this case :-)), but I suppose we have to count ourselves really lucky that we didn't gat it: This customer would have come in for multiple damages if he had found that his codebase got suddenly contaminated. Of course we could have done it again in another language, but then he'd have come in for contractual damages because of the project being behind schedule. Not that I think the ACT letter as quoted here would hold up in court, not with all that contradicting evidence. But nonetheless :-). Avoid lawyers, where possible. :-). Regards -- Markus.
