There is no contradiction, I was not aware of your class and therefor did not rip you off or tried to steal anything from you. Point taken it is your code and I already said that I will credit you accordingly. I still did not know this when a) I used it, nor b) when I made the proposal I got this code as-is, it did not work for whatever reason so I started to refactore and build what I call "File_S3" from it. I asked the people who I contracted for at the time if it was OK with them if I made this code public and they agreed. I know *now* that the original derived from your code and I have absolutely no issue crediting you for it. That's all I can and will say. Till
