I'm sorry if the strength of my reaction suggested that this is simply a "punishment" maneuver. It's not important to me that he lose sleep over anything, and as Sujal has pointed out it's probably not even his decision - he's working for a commercial org now and they're calling the shots. It's simply a fact that these new restrictions make our goals and his incompatible now, and we therefore need to go our separate ways. Considering the fact that we don't even know whether USS truly has anything to offer us which can't be gotten with the previous generation of the code (which our developers will also have complete freedom to improve), I think that an impassioned defense is also somewhat premature.
