I remember George Hatchew when I was living in Flint.  I was a Blue Wave beta
tester for quite some time.

George passed away and he was the only one doing Blue Wave.  The other
programmer having "sold out" to George so he could go to work for EDS in Flint.

EDS had a policy of effectively taking any outside work you do and "owning" it.
 I don't think it would ever hold up in court, but they could make it difficult
for you.

My actual Blue Wave registration code was long lost to time.  My beta tester
code was always temporary and George would refresh it every so often.

It would have been nice if the source for Blue Wave had been made public before
George passed, but, sadly, it was not meant to be.  His stuff was probably sold
off in the estate sale and the person who got the source didn't know what it
was and deleted it.
