Was just curious if they were okay with that. 
Yes. That's the closest they came to "sponsorship" of the work.

Might as well, right? 
Did you choose to point it at ozcoin? To you own address?
That should be pretty clear from the screenshot. Alas I only had access for less than a day.

However gigavps has taken it almost entirely upon himself to donate as much as BFL themselves probably should have been doing (which is disappointing). His sponsorship has made me care where otherwise I was happy to leave this crap with luke behind forever.
As much as I hate seeing BFL drop the ball, props to Giga for stepping up! I was very concerned CGMiner would not support ASICs, but this is very good news indeed. It is my sole mission to make sure ASICs are supported by cgminer. Luckily con and I speak the same language.

Early access I don't think so. Timely access, likely. Hardware sponsorship guaranteed they will NOT.

Unless they release a new version, their software is pretty limited. Check it out on their website.
I have. No examples / screenshots of their software. Only their hardware.I'm very interested in the kind of software they use with their stuff (Yes I know EasyMiner is mentioned a couple of times, but no real user guides of this software)
I can't find the exact picture, but BFL showed a picture of them testing a MR with CGMiner.
I can't find the one I'm thinking of, but here's a blurry shot:
OK, kind of new I should have stuck to supporting kano and con for their cgminer work and just STFU on Luke.
Good call, my bad, carry on.
I honestly have no f'in clue what Luke does, so I won't comment about him again.
I took CGMiner, the GPU miner, and rewrote significant pieces to make it modular and support FPGAs additionally. Everything FPGA-related in CGMiner is based on that work, but Con has opted to fork it in CGMiner and force me to continue the original modular/FPGA project independently as BFGMiner. Don't buy into the trolls and their FUD. Despite Con's renewed interest in maintaining CGMiner as a fork of BFGMiner now that he realizes GPUs are history, the original (BFGMiner) is still better. Good call, my bad, carry on.

Enough with all of your spam in the threads , why don't you each go your separate ways with your forks. Luke take all of conman's code out of your fork and then proceed from there. It should work fine, after all, you have stated: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1015760

Better watch out. Jesus doesn't like prideful statements like this.
Agreed, but BFL's software won't do SOLO mining.
Are you sure? Have you seen their software yet?Unless they release a new version, their software is pretty limited. Check it out on their website.

The original author of the codebase was Jeff Garzik. Con added GPU support. I added FPGA support. Con then took the FPGA support into his, and eventually forked from the main FPGA codebase. As of right now, CGMiner as it is, is a fork of BFGMiner. That is the truth.
Forking really is relative. Selectively choosing which updates to pull while pushing your own doesn't make you a fork.You ought to be hanged from a tree for making it sound as though you were the original writer of cgminer. Quit using such weasel language.
