Yes that's where my sentiment with this lies.
My personal feeling is Chris would want us to keep FME alive, to keep his flame burning through the scene he made possible, via all the means Reg outlined in his original post to this thread.
But, honestly, I don't think he'd want people mucking about with the code he worked on for 23 years.
He never shared the source code in all that time, and I think we can draw a pretty simple conclusion from that.
V20.1 is a magnificent, amazing piece of software, that brings us all such joy on a daily basis. We should be grateful for that, and respect Chris's legacy.
I understand where miroslav is coming from in his post above, but for me, MFME ends at V20.1, where the scene goes from here, with V20.1, is up to the rest of us.
