I didn't follow the whole licence issue, nor I don't care that much |
17 |
about that (I was just explaining what I know from the Internet). The |
18 |
problem, as it seemed, is that you and Bloch staunchly refused to settle |
19 |
down the issue somehow. Please correct me if it's wrong. |

21 |
But I don't buy the "people that attack me is just jealous/trolling" |
22 |
argument, sorry. Assuming good faith is always better. To tell "I'm |
23 |
right and B is lying" is quite trollish too. To tell "I'm right, B |
24 |
probably hasn't understood that..." is another thing. And trying to do |
25 |
baby steps each in the direction of the other should always be strived |
26 |
for. It seems in this case that both failed to do that. Personally I'd |
27 |
have stepped down on licence issues if that meant more distribution for |
28 |
my code, but I'm not a serious programmer so I don't know if it holds |
29 |
for larger projects. However I'll have to review ye old flamewar to |
30 |
understand the issue. |

|
32 |
The problem, however, is that -being it your fault or not- that incident |
33 |
somehow made hard for some people to rely on your tools. :( |
