“As the author of ThreadX, I was shocked when I saw the API of µ-velOSity, which immediately appeared to me to be a blatant copy of my work,” commented William E. Lamie, president of Express Logic. “Software authors invest a lot of time and expertise in creative works like ThreadX, and it’s a shame if that work is copied illegally and used to mislead potential ThreadX customers.""
