When Katz died people asked the ARC people what they thought about him: http://www.esva.net/~thom/philkatz.html
>So now Phil Katz is dead. He drank himself to death, alone in a motel room, a bottle of booze in his hand and five empties in the room. One can only guess what drove him to such a tragic end, but it is a fitting demise for a man whose professional reputation is based entirely on a lie.
What a heartless asshole.
I get where you're coming from, but Katz basically stole Henderson's work, lied about it, and destroyed Henderson's business and, for many years, his reputation. I don't think I can really blame him for not having been terribly diplomatic about the man's death.

>I can think of no more fitting epitath than the final clause of the original ARC copyright statement:
>"If you fail to abide by the terms of this license, then your conscience will haunt you for the rest of your life."
Agreed. Most of us have either experienced ourselves or seen someone suffer from an illness or condition we wouldn't "wish on our worst enemy".
Most of us.
