Yes all we have is ACCESS's side of the story, but we've been playing this game for ages. Bernd has never given us anything remotely appearing to resemble a full explanation of the legal state of Zeta and his only saving grace is the supposed belief that he was possibly under an NDA. Why wait till Zeta's dead to give us what we've wanted for ages, a straight answer. It's been nothing but vague assertions that they supposedly had the rights to the code with nothing to back it up. For the longest time the state of progress didn't even indicate he had access to the source code at all, let alone illegally.
If Bernd wants to give his side then I am willing to listen, (it would likely be the most information we'd ever gotten out of him) but I certainly am not going to get my hopes up. At this point I'd say Zeta's customers have been wrongfully duped and the blame for this lies solely at Bernd's feet.
