Well I am into this since the early days of Leopard and this wasn't not usual in the beginning.
The source code of the ToH Kernel patch was made public end of May 2008.
More than half a year after the beginning of it's development.

It has proved that this had been the right decission.
If the source would not have been released back then, the development of the Voodoo Kernel would have never been achieved and AMD OSx86 would be already dead for a long time now...

But still I do understand him.
If I would have put a lot of work in to a Kernel patch, I would not want some tonymac like asshole to relabel it without giving any credits either.

Nevertheless I hope my argumentation will be heared...

Good to hear someone has it.
My FX-4100 is on it's way and my Phenom II just been put for sale on eBay.

I am pretty sure to get it fully working.

Would be to bad if some nasty Kernel depencies would end this with the release of some future system update...
