Renegade Software
I'm the guy who wrote that article. I didn't have the privilege of composing
and shooting the cover. I chose the word "renegade" to imply that this
software effort was not necessarily approved by Kodak. What was I supposed to
do, spend ten paragraphs explaining that several companies (Xetec, Asimware)
have felt secure enough to ship this software in their software, and then
explain the difference between someone spending $100K to register with Kodak
and someone on the Internet who cracked a file format that must'nt have been
very hard to crack?
