He is the only contact address mentioned. Who else should get an offer?

You can test and play around with buildd.net all you want and easily
see "its superiority". You can also contact Ingo and ask him for the
scripts, as I have done, and you may recieve them. Something that I
found impossible for buildd.d.o.
Ingo is offering a service and paying for it. That he isn't throwing
the source at anyone casualy stumbling accross his site should hinder
anyone intrested.
