Everyone who is able to read and remember could follow and understand this process without having to be involved at all simply by reading what both parties posted and agreed on . a.) SSDF was forbidden to test Shredder 4 b.) SSDF complained . c.) SSDF was allowed to test Shredder 5 d.) SSDF rejected and said they only wanted to test Shredder if they could test any other program by Millenium , too . e.) Millenium agreed to this but pointed out they can only make this statement for programs where they still hold the rights . d.) SSDF rejected to test Shredder 5 again and brought up the issue of an unpaied invoice of 500 dollars of some years ago ( which never was mentioned before ) .
