Another disturbing development from the Mac Shareware front: Garrett Murray developed an application called xPad (stickies, text edit replacement) for OS X and was selling it as shareware. He agreed to sell the website, application and some other bits of intellectual property to Brian Ball of macZOT, a shareware promotion website. Sales apparently weren’t as brisk as Mr. Ball would have liked and he stopped making payments for xPad to Garrett but continued to sell the application itself.
This was legal per the terms of the contract (an admittedly poorly written default clause), but I think that Garrett described the situation correctly, that Brian Ball and macZOT displayed “completely unprofessional behavior”.
Garrett has since decided to release xPad as freeware, if this is maniacal rage, it’s classy maniacal rage.
