This is a mis-characterisation of what Mate did. Mate would like to release his code under an MIT license, but that's difficult if a piece of software it relies on is GPL. There was no blackmail, no threat, but a friendly question! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
