Hi Frank,

I believe that you know very well that Bob has already said that he does not
want to be bothered with this. He is not waiting for the source code. He has
already said that his code has been copied.

Since you want to have a contact with Eugenio, that's your choice. But, please
respect Bob's statements too, in the same way that you want to be respected.

Bob cannot be used as an excuse here. He has made his statements clear.

Cheers...
