Yeah, remember now. Do you want to see the full caps email from
branden,
where he all but told me i was not wanted in the debian project when i
was a fresh NM back then ? [...]
No, that's not relevant. As the saying here goes: Two wrongs do not
make a right.
I seldom IRC these days. The problems of IRC harassment are being
discussed
on -project now, I think.
Sorry, no time for this mailing list [...]
OK, let's leave that here: it's being looked at.
upstream should "give the copyright holder [RMS] generous [...]
benefit of
the doubt" about their licence's implications. [...]
yeah, well, ok, still, this is hardly an argument that would have been
received favorably by upstream, who would probably feel offended that
they, also being copyright holder of some code, might not get the same
"benefiot of the doubt". [...]
Brian Thomas Sniffen (the BTS mentioned previously when I didn't think
about the double sense) actually wrote that they should both be given
that consideration if possible. Really, there is no excuse for you
reporting your own wording of an already-corrected misunderstanding as
if it were the consensual view of debian-legal.
But let's stop here this OT thread. I retract that rant against
debian-legal, and let's not speak about it again.
OK.
Please go work on a free implementation of a package currently in
non-free, and stop loosing our time on this.
[...] I am not the most prolific, but I do my
part. I think I've earnt the option to challenge your misreporting.
Ok, fine for you, why you don't do it now then ?
I do. Replying to your emails is just something I do while waiting for
other things to finish, so that your misreporting should not convince
anyone to vote to keep non-free. Why aren't you working on fixing the
buggy ADSL and 3D graphics drivers affecting you? ;-)
