Wasn't there some claus in TKC's website that said if they go out of business, they will release all software under the GPL after one year?

Basically, the answer is TKC is bankrupt. TKC's team of developers have not been paid for over 5 months, (some even longer). Sometime in June this year, we were are told to find alternative work until TKC's financial situation improves. The development of Rekall is a full time job so Mike and myself were unable to comply, since we were already committed to releasing Rekall V2.1.0 in a timely manner. We decided that it was unfair to our customers to expect them to wait for TKC's finanical situation to improve, which could be anything from 12 months to 3 years. Consequently, Mike and I decided that it would be in the best interest of our customers if we took back Rekall and continued its development alone. You may remember what happened with Black Adder, TKCs Python IDE. TKC released for sale Black Adder beta over 3 years ago at a discounted price, with a promise of a free upgrade once BA V1.0 stable was completed. BA V1.0 stable made its first appearance at the end of August this year, over 3 years late. This kind of thing is not going to happen with Rekall. Rekall will always be available from http://www.totalrekall.co.uk and http://www.rygannon.com. Furthemore, there may be the possibility that sometime in the future we will release Rekall under the GPL and only charge a nominal fee for email support on a subscription basis, so keep an eye on either of the Total Rekall Portals On behalf of Mike and myself I would like to apoloze for any inconvenience or confusion our actions may caused.
