I don't think there's been any (major) misunderstandings, it's just that we view the situation differently... I think we all agree on NetAss not being able to kill the SA-code no matter how hard they try, we also agree on people being able to fork into a new project if something seems to go wrong with the SpamAssassin-project as it is today. The problem is what will happen _if_ something changes from the way it is today, and what _might_ happen _if_ there is ever a problem for the leaders of this project (now the employees of NetAss) where they might have to make a smaller "where's my loyalty"-decision. -- /\___/\ /\___/\ \_@ @_/ \_@ @_/ +--oOO-(_)-OOo------------------------------------------oOO-(_)-OOo--+ | Per scientiam ad libertatem! // Through knowledge towards freedom! | +---ôôô---ôôô--------------------------------------------ôôô---ôôô---+ \O/ \O/ (c)1998-2003 [EMAIL PROTECTED] \O/ \O/ ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com _______________________________________________ Spamassassin-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spamassassin-talk
