No, I'm stating that those forks that are violating Joe Taylor's
request that his protocols not be used for automatic (robot)
operations and those that misuse the multiple stream capability
contrary to the limitations in WSJTX are most certainly bastards
(as are their developers).

These developers are not promoting innovations that would enhance
the art ... they are creating confusion, QRM and fracture.

Joe, as for the “bastard forks” you’ve mentioned more than once, remember that Joe Taylor intentionally released the software as open source and explicitly invited independent experimentation and testing in order to foster innovation.
