OpenEuphoria

I obviously missed a passage, but why did Pete break away in the first place? (I hope I am not stirring up a controversial issue with this question - if so, just ignore it). I am asking because I don't see much sense in developing an alternative Euphoria, and I would see it more logic to add those extra features to mainstream Euphoria rather than developing them separately. This would also avoid all licensing issues and simplify things.
