Ferret is a program he has severe problems with with Brutus. The advantage of brutus is also Ferrets advantage as it is parallel. So there is only a financial motive for Donninger. Sales.

It is simply financial interest. >>Everyone who has met Bruce *ever* understands why that will stop him from >>participating there.
