LOL!

I guess, in a weird sort of way.

Company 'P' makes a $5000 video editing board, as well as some bloated software that only wants to talk to their board. (and, believe it or not, they charge extra for the software!).

Company 'N' is really cool and makes a better card for $3000. There are some people that want to run 'P's bloated software, but on Company 'N's board.

Company 'P' is stingy and doesn't want 3rd parties developing stuff for them, let alone producing things that could allow users to use their bloated software (that they PAID FOR!!!) on boards that Company 'P' didn't make. So, they don't provide SDKs. IDA's enough for me, thank you!!

Company 'N' likes it when additional software suddenly supports their board, and happily provide SDKs to 3rd parties, even people like ME.

So whenever I get a chance to jab Company 'P' in the ribs, I do so, and I always release the results for free. It's a hobby, you see. Death to Compnay 'P'!!!
