Subject: Was Brutus cancelled?

On http://go.computer.free.fr/go-computer/threads.html (I think that there’s a
newer site now) Christian "Chrilly" Donninger apparently made some statements
which make me ask the question - did chessbase cancel further development of
brutus after Graz?

Was this discussed here already?

See below:

Dear Vincent,
 
>Yes Chrilly, you are correct. You work for  the company chessbase.
I worked till last sunday for CB. I think this is  no shame. Most professional
chess programmers work now for CB, because CB is a  quasi-monopol and it is
difficult to run one´s own  bussiness.

Then in another post he says something which indicates that he will have some
time to work on other things:

“There are some plans that I write a 9x9 FPGA Go programm. This  is yet not
fixed, it depends on the result of the negotiations with a  potential investor
(I can not finance such a project from my own pocket.  Especially I would not be
able to produce a few thousand Go-cards).”
