Ported + added some closed source GUI from time to time.
However most of his ports should be in the debian repository anyway.
 
...and added some secret sendback of userdata to his own server, from time to time. 

I'm still wary of anything that he has had anything to do with.
 
Well to give him some credit - he made it easier for folks to make use of dosbox. His dosbox version was pretty popular and there were several people paying for the software (you can probably still purchase the full version)

I never used it though - mainly due to the closed source part of the software. If there is an alternative I always prefer open source.

I've seen this line mentioned here a bunch, but I think there's something to be said about ports that are tailored to the hardware they run on, with a thoughtful interface that works well on a handheld with a small screen that's used on the go. You can't apt-get that from the Debian repos. I wouldn't use my Pandora much if it weren't for all the optimised and well-designed PNDs that people took the time to make.
