8 So I made a mistake coming out from a missunderstanding on a commit on a
9 branch that didn't even get merged since I was expecting approval from
10 somebody else before that. Cool. The amount of damage caused by this
11 action is around the same as publishing a patch and not applying it.

15 Check european copyright laws please, they are quite different from
16 yours. I at least have had to read and understand the spanish copyright
17 laws a few times and its not funny. So please don't speak of a "normal"
18 body of copyright law there is not such thing and some of us have enough
19 with the "normalizations" USA based lobbies are trying to impose on ours.
