And rumors circulating during the summer where someone said that C4eva is tired of people making money off of something he does for free so he is quitting.
Making money off of someone's idea is nothing new. C4Eva, and when I say this I mean no disrespect, probably knew people would profit off his findings that he was giving out for free. History shows us time and time again that if you have something remarkable, there will always be people exploiting it and charging other people to use that finding. It is sad though that people are profiting from his findings and exploits, but if everyone was well off (In $ terms) then people would do it free and if they had the time. Hell, Linux is a good one to use as an example. People profit off open source and then turn around, make it better or different and sell it as their own.
Even if or when 1.61 or 1.7 come out, it will be quickly advertised by many that they can update/flash their customers firmware.
All in all, if you're going to have an idea and give it out to the public for free, you better be prepared for it to be used and profited from by so many others.
