I do not know how Rainer Becker of dFPUG is doing today, but he was a big friend of Chens work on the german conferences over the years. Some of the folks from oversea here had the idea that there is way for Chen action under U.S. law too? We do not need to go for a fortune - any contract might do.

While I'm with you, can we keep Ricks behaviour out of this thread? Thread#1662718 will do for what is left ofl of 2018.

The basic idea is that Chen has some rights - if we provide ours even more.
If Chen can provide a contract under german law or that what some of the americans brought up it looks much better. I have no problem to spend something for his outstanding work fixing the bugs.
