So it seems as if the TenDRA project itself is dead. Even the e-mail
address given in the TenDRA documents bounces.

A small clarification of Bruce's article is that not only have DERA
not patented any aspects of the technology, but we have actively
published those techniques which we feared that others might seek

This seems to be the huge advantage of TenDRA/ANDF. It's sufficiently
different from Java and C#, free of patents, open source, and a 
free implementation is available that can be used to validate new
developments.
