And there is no proof that it is TULGAs fault that GN did not receive the patches. Wait a minute: There is not even proof that GN did not receive any patches.Originally Posted by Garfonso
I'll state it again in the hope that logic may finally prevail in this discussion:
Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
Applied to this discussion:
No proof for patch transmission does not equal proof of no patch transmission.
Lets try to handle this like scientists, shall we?
Your first question was who developes the patches. It is my understanding so far that they are developed by the developers and that these are under contract to TULGA.
Now before we jump to your second question, we find that there are some questions that have to be asked before:
Does the patching involve work on the side of GN that doesn't have to be done by Tulga, namely making the patches fit Unity in some special way? Maybe GN does not wish to spend the manpower to do so... In this case the patches would have been sent and TULGA would not be at fault.
Does TULGA have to supply the patches no matter what or is GN required to do something in return as well, for example pay for them? If that should be the case, then either of both sides could be at fault here. Maybe GN stopped paying, how about that? You wouldn't expect TULGA to work for free in that case? In this case the patches would not have been sent -- but we still wouldn't know if TULGA is at fault.
So TULGA is either not at fault or we don't know for sure. There is no way the sent-patch-question can prove TULGA is at fault.
