Shortly thereafter, it became clear that Xelerance and I disagreed about a number of things, including who or what should control the "Openswan" name.  Lawsuits were exchanged and, after having been in litigation for almost a year, Xelerance and I settled our claims against one another and severed our remaining business ties.

I continue to develop free and opensource software, and will continue to help people in their quest to use IPsec to increase their security and protect their privacy. You will be able to follow my activities via Twitter, my website and elsewhere.
