I concur with John. It seems to me that there has been some over-reaction on both sides of this argument - while the initial posting didn't properly recognise the way that free software works, I think that some of the responses, especially threats to revert a fix which a lot of other users would also benefit from, were also to a greater or lesser degree unreasonable. While we can stick together on the basic principles in the argument, KDE is surely about being free to (respectfully) question other people's ideas and statements. It's not about adhering 100% to some 'official' line (which is undefined anyway). -- David Jarvie. KDE developer.
