That's not d-legal's decision, or the DPL's. It's the maintainer's decision. There are procedures in place to overrule a maintainer. If you really think that such a thing is a good idea, follow them. Debating the merits of rewrites is far off-topic for d-legal. > Think about it: Karsten wrote a valuable document and is offering it > under the GPL; in these times of non-free documentation everywhere, how > can you ask more from him? I believe I saw Joey offering to rewrite the documentation, with his own time, and only asked to have the relevant sections identified. I'm not sure that I see the entire situation, since a quick review shows the GPL on one side and "ad-hoc" on the other--the GPL isn't an ad-hoc license. Karsten didn't make any real attempt to summarize the situation, though, instead dumping pages of past history on the list and expecting us to pull out a fine-toothed-comb, and I don't have the time or interest to do that. I do know that I see Joey being reasonable, apologizing, and offering to help fix the problem, so I have zero tolerance for Karsten's demanding, who-do-you-think- you-are, you-can't-remove-my-work, fix-it-my-way-or-else, I'm-going- over-your-head attitude. -- Glenn Maynard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
