Well, again this was a post Magnus made slightly over two years ago, not
one I made today. Even back then, I think the claim was demonstrably false.
The second paragraph is false too. I personally *had* offered to help
maintain it for free, if he'd just give me access. I wouldn't have been
capable of taking it over, but I could have at least fixed any broken
links that annoyed me.
I included the posting because of the passage that implied (very roughly
paraphprasing) that now that his DoD sugar-daddy was gone, he couldn't
afford to do it any more.
I don't want to get out of hand Magnus-bashing here. His site did a
great deal for the Ada community for quite a few years. People's
interests can change over time; there's nothing sinister about that. But
I think this should be a valuable lesson to us all on the evils of
restrctively licensing generally-useful information.
