Working with free software can drive you mad. You start to see the problems and the software potentially being used on a larger scale. Then your ideas would probably be met with even your "friends" assuring you differently. This is one of those visions.
I always always enjoyed the movies made by the Cohen Brothers Joel and Ethan. About the time I finished my first little GAP project I rented and watched the O Brother, Where Art Thou? DVD. I mention the DVD because of the extras found on it. In the extra stuff, I learned that KODAK used "current technology" to make their film into that lush golden colored presentation that you can see when you view the film.
This is the rant. It smells like broken software to me. This movie smells like XANIM and GAP. You start to wonder who is getting the money and what they are doing with it. You start to wonder who your friends are and what makes them think they are helping you. I really tried to work with the extracted frames that the broken XANIM made for me. Either someone broke the library in order to extract the frames or they were being like me and working with what they had. Which is all fine and dandy until you are in need of someone who is strong and brave to admit it and no one is.
Simple credit and acknowledgement should not be so difficult.
