I wrote that the *thread* - digressing from useful discussion about |
| 17 |
software tools and into religion - was pissing me off. |

I asked because I wanted to hear your point of view and your reason |
| 20 |
(for changing license to CDDL). This is not very obvious when |
| 21 |
searching the web, and the reason given on your website (which I only |
| 22 |
found after asking the question) is somewhat vague. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Why is the CDDL "more free" and why do you particularly like it? |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
I wanted to hear your opinion and what you wanted to say - I was |
| 27 |
genuinely interested in your side of the story. Considering how much |
| 28 |
else you've written in this thread that seems little enough to ask. |

When I searched the web I rather expected to find loads of mailing- |
| 31 |
list posts, blog entries and other articles and that half of them |
| 32 |
would announce what a rotter you are, the other half how poor old |
| 33 |
Joerg has been stitched up. But it is NOT so obvious from Googling. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Since this is the case you would benefit your case by explaining |
| 36 |
better on your website. |

As I told you already I might quite aggressively support your |
| 39 |
software if you would just make the effort to convince me. No one |
| 40 |
else on this list mistook my question for antagonism. I deliberately |
| 41 |
tried to be polite and tactful when asking you, and it did me no good |
| 42 |
at all! Frankly, therefore, I can see why everyone is "against you" |
| 43 |
if you insist on misconstruing an innocent question as an attack. If |
| 44 |
my example is anything to go by then I can only assume that the whole |
| 45 |
Debian and Bloch fiasco is the result of your own over-reaction |
| 46 |
(sorry to be so honest about how I see things!). |
