Chris Johnson has not contacted us for any information. If and when
he does, we would like to work with him in resolving the problem.

Everything we do in CopyDoubler uses legitimate and standard system
calls. In general, we are willing to change our code if we can in
order to avoid a problem. However, we need to do certain things and
to do those things we make standard system calls. Lacking alternatives,
that's all we can do and it's up to Mr. Johnson to change GateKeeper
in those cases.
