Please refrain from taking out your mail environment pains on others. > > well not be applicable in this particular case, but it's still a sane and > > No, it is not applicable here, i have explained why various times, and it is > not reasonable for me to suggest this to upstream. Yes, you've said that repeatedly, and I've acknowledged that repeatedly. It's irrelevant to the fact that suggesting it to you for evaluation is completely reasonable. I'm not arguing this further; it's irrelevant to the freeness or non-freeness of the QPL, and a waste of my time, since you're impervious to civil, rational discussion. > And for your information.

Due to your track record with respect to being courteous, I don't particularly care about your opinion of my behavior--it's like being condemned by a career burgler for filching a pencil. > > Subject: ocaml: license conflict in Emacs Lisp support? > > Subject: ocaml: Worse, the QPL is not DFSG-free > > Well, the subject of the second is kinda agressive if you where not aware of > the discussion here, don't you think ?

No, it isn't. There was a clear consensus at the time to the non-freeness of the QPL, and the only people I see disagreeing with that now are you and possibly Matthew Garrett. > > Neither of these are rude.

I'm sorry to disappoint your expectations, then, but I'm not going to lie about my experiences with Brian. (I could "expect" you to retract your false accusation of Brian misrepresenting the consensus of debian-legal, but I'm sure I would be similarly disappointed.) > > If you wish to be consistently insulting, sarcastic and rude to people > > Then please demostrate i am wrong to do so. Remember Sylvain legall, which You need a demonstration of why being polite, civil and reasonable is the right thing to do? I think I'll not waste my time.
