Not to worry. I can help you out here, since I prefer real research to making shit up. It turns out the HCC software is named "housctl" and was written by Eric Michelson from the University of California, San Diego:

Fine, I concede that there is some conflicting information here. The press release claims that the software comes from JPL and other pages seem to imply that it was written in-house.
A personal website of the man who wrote the software with a comprehensive document explaining in detail how he implemented every single aspect of it, versus an outdated news article that you wilfully misinterpreted, is hardly conflicting information. There is no mystery here. NASA was not involved.
Now I'm going to ask you once more: Look through the documents and tell me
which phase of development was sabotaged by NASA. Tell me where Eric made a mistake and
how that mistake can be attributed to NASA's involvement.Does it really matter?
What kind of question is that? You have all the material here. If you can't find a single phase and explain how NASA could have been in control of it, you have no evidence. No evidence equals making shit up. Stop it.
It's a stretch to say that NASA would fund a project without having the ability to control it. Does your employer send you a paycheck and say "go do whatever you want, we don't care"? No. They give you explicit instructions and breathe down your neck if you are not meeting demands and expectations. This is how the world works.
For God's sake Tom, NASA was not the employer. NASA wasn't the only one who supported the project. Obviously all the organizations who donated can't simultaneously be in charge.
But this is all besides the point anyway, Tom. Despite how strongly you believe that giving money to a project means one
should be in charge of it, all the evidence points to the fact that they
weren't.
As an extreme example: Dave shoots Harry in the heart. Harry survives. You say, "Does it really matter? Dave murdered Harry. When you shoot someone in the heart, they die. This is how the world works." Yet Harry is sitting next to you, quite alive. Your expectations are irrelevant if available facts contradict them.
