You say that you had to work at your own +(impressive) speed and did not want to hijack an existing project... +But you seem to give up quite easly to good part of the GPL, you could have +forked an existing project: the maintainer would hold no grudge against you +as you would not take any of his/her volonteers but instead bring your team +to some work he/she could also benefit. +Even for low-level, everyday use classes, you seem to always invent your +own (callbacks, smart pointers and sockets come to mind). +I understand that your code is (honestly !) of far better quality than the +average available crap (I also find myself to rewrite much of the code that +I'm supposed to used) but there are exceptions (libsigc++ or any stuff from +www.boost.org for exemple). I just hope that nevrax does not lose time because +of a Not Invented Here syndrom... +><i>From the docs online I had even the impression that you wanted to use you own +</I>custom scripting language (for ai I think).
