Maybe he's looking for someone to buy it from them...

  Well it's an interesting twist the way their running it and how their
skirting the licensing issues.  Outside of the fact that they are
running it illegally (and I'd have to double check, but I'm pretty sure
its licensed only under Windows), I'm not sure their idea of ensuring
every user already have a license is legally correct either.  Microsoft
probably won't care on that angle though because they are not loosing
any revenue that way. 

<<...and probably wish they could.>>

   That would be more reason I think for them to go after them.  Access
2010/SharePoint is just going no where.

  What really gets me though is him just walking away from something
like that.  He alludes to the challenge of putting something like that
together, but then goes on to basically say it's beneath him?  That just
doesn't square.

  And the fact that it is a desperately needed offering and wanted.  It
would breath life into a very stale product.  I think most of us here
would almost die for an opportunity like that.

  What a shame.  To come up with something like that and then just walk
away from it.

  What's even worse though is the damage he's done to his fellow
co-founder by posting details like that.

Oh no, now he will be hunted down and every penny he has made improving
the product will be lost. Or maybe Microsoft, will assume he is doing
them a service on a product they have all but abandoned...and probably
wish they could.

 It was www.eqldata.com and that was very interesting.

 His ramblings also may have cost him; he admits there running Access
under WINE/Linux, which I still believe is a violation of the EULA.
Access is only licensed under Windows.

All Access developers

A few weeks ago someone posted a link to a site that could host your
Access Database and allow it to be distributed to the web. I do not
remember the name of the program or the name of the link but I do think
I recieve a link to the ramblings of the programmer who designed the
package.

You may find the following post interesting and if someone remembers the
app or link it would be interesting to attaching that thread to this
post.
