Is that really what you think? Just because you say it's so, does not make 
it true.

For the sake of the archive, the HTML documentation (including the HylaFAQ) 
was supplied to me in a tarball by Paul Vixie with Sam Leffler's approval 
(he had been hosting it for Sam). The original website at 
http://www.vix.com/hylafax/ had an HTTP redirect placed by Paul to redirect 
to www.hylafax.org. I just checked - it's still working.

The mailing lists archives were similarly transferred to me by their owner, 
complete with archives and subscriber lists, in order to make the transition 
as orderly as possible.

HylaFAX had fallen into disrepair since Sam had bowed out of active 
participation, and no longer compiled on many of the newer operating systems 
that were emerging (there was lots going on with Linux, Solaris, HP/UX, SCO 
and *BSD at the time). People were jazzed that HylaFAX was moving away from 
the benevolent dictator setup to a new, open development model complete with 
bug tracker, publicly accessible CVS and a bunch of people excited to 
collaborate to resurrect this wonderful software.

We didn't steal anything. It was directly entrusted to myself and the few 
other brave souls who launched hylafax.org by those who had it before us.
