It sounds like Nemosoft still hasn't figured out what happened, and is blaming the Linux kernel maintainers.

What's odd is that I don't see any hint that he bothered to contact Philips and ask how they feel about abiding by the letter of the NDA, so he could release the source to the decompressor. Instead, he preferred to play chicken with the kernel maintainers because he doesn't agree with their policy. It looks like they recognized that was what he was really up to, and refused to play.
