Hi,

it's nothing unusual it is just other job arrangements. Fabien hoped for a
reliable income with only developing Fruit but this did not manifest so he
decided he must seek other job opportunities as well. So Fruit is for Fabien
still a hobby project despite the fact that it is sold now (like Junior, Hiarcs
etc.).

Joachim
