I think he just put too many eggs in that basket too quickly. It's a great product, and the cross platform support is killer since Multiplicity from EdgeRunner/Stardock and Mouse without Borders are both Windows only. I think Nick Bolton saw an opportunity, but wasn't necessarily the most qualified person to handle the task. I'm not trying to insult him, but I was around when Synergy was waiting on Chris to release the fabled 2.0 and when Nick Bolton jumped in to try to make a business out of Synergy. His twist towards a commercial license came from the fact that despite it being used by many people, few ever paid. He obviously felt he had to force the issue but clearly chose poorly. This is an itch many people feel, but clearly few wish to scratch. It's frustrating.
