I think that I know who is behind this. He is a brilliant engineer who designs innovative stuff (for profit) but, for some reason, believes that software (particularly MMBasic) involves zero effort and therefore should be free to use without acknowledgement.
We have had disputes in the past as he seems to like designing stuff around MMBasic - which makes it all the more strange that he views it as worthless. If he simply acknowledged the authors of the firmware then all would be good, but based on past performance, I doubt that will happen - in fact he will probably remove all reference to Peter and myself.
If you are planning on buying one of his gadgets, be aware that, in the past, he has not regarded after sales support as very important. It might look like a big enterprise, but assuming that he is who I think he is, it is just one guy who will inevitably move on to a new gadget with a different company name.
