It will eventually work out in the courts, but I expect by that time there will be two distinct (though very similar) software packages available : Mirage 2.0 from Bauhaus (rewritten from the ground up and maybe not called Mirage, depending on how the court case turns out) and TVPaint PRO as it has continued to be improved and updated by the originator, Herve Adam, and his team at TVPaint Development. It is unfortunate that the North American distribution arrangement between Bauhaus Software and TVPaint Development went sour, for whatever reasons and no matter who is to blame (maybe mistakes were made on both sides, as is usually the case when relationships, personal or business, go bad). It's true, there are many nice, helpful people (and boy, are they loyal !) at the Mirage User forum, as there are also many nice, helpful people on the TVPaint User Forum. The Bauhaus message board is much more active than the TVPaint board, though, so there are still many loyal Mirage users. And the new TVPaint software does indeed have many nice new features.
I do find it VERY strange that Bauhaus has not touched the source code ever since the split.
