are you available for hire for that rate ? If the awnser is yes, i might in the future occasionally (not often) have payed work for you. > This discussion is a waste of money how much did you pay for the discussion ? I hope you did not pay much, i dont think this discussion has a very high value. > and of SPI funds, The money comes from the german government through STF, it does not come from SPI also as with government funding, this all was publically available/advertised and noone else took it. If this is overpayed iam sure others would have picked it up. > just delete the > library and use the repository provided by Derek. As the author of libpostproc, i tried using the repository from Derek back in 2012. And as a sidenote I and Derek where much friendlier towards each other from what i remember, than in the discussion today. I hope we will be friendlier towards each other in the future again. And i thank derek for the work back then that he did but i prefer doing it differently and thats what i started doing now in 2024 The question in this thread is, if this split is wanted, and if people want me to receive the money or donate it. thx [...] -- Michael GnuPG fingerprint: 9FF2128B147EF6730BADF133611EC787040B0FAB Dictatorship: All citizens are under surveillance, all their steps and actions recorded, for the politicians to enforce control.
