What I remember of RIM, is they took some guys code. He innovated, and they took it. He told them, and just asked for a mention in the authors page. A quick thanks mate. I'd suspect it would help him land future jobs, and be fun to talk about.<p>They rejected it. He died and his estate sold the rights. Then BB got sued. They should have been sued, and deserved what they got. Don't steal from devs
