CTO still at the company. I resigned both on moral grounds, but also because
despite the nice hourly billing fee I was charging, I understood the relationship with the CTO, from them on would be ...Let's say...Toxic? :-))
I diplomatically decided not to press on, with the embarrassing subject, but clarified all materials were of my own authorship. I assumed most present understood between the lines, what was happening. I had no illusions of any outcome similar to the feelgood movie stories...These are normally politically well connected players :-) As I mentioned in another comment, CTO still with the company.
