The real author is "Jamey Kirby" <jkirby@rocketdivision.com>, he used to
give out the code, Bo took Jamey's code removed the copyrights and added
GPL. The problem is the only way to stop Bo is to sue him, which
unfortunately would cost a lot of money and with no return. It is
unfortunate that the open source efforts that will sue someone for stealing
GPL'd code, will not turn their attention to the problem of comercial code
being GPL'd.

OK, Thanks.
Then what should I do ? Who is the real author ? Should I get
permission from him ? How could it be that all the Net knows the code
was stolen and still it is available ?
I think I am not the first person starting to learn driver development
with this code, and I am stuck now in the end of my project with the
illegal code ?!
:-(((((
