I understand your frustration, Normand, but I hope you will continue to 
contribute to the project.  It's important work and your contributions, and 
those of the community as a whole, are extremely valuable.

May I suggest a reading of [ETHICALREPO] so that you may see that "zealotry" is 
an unfair categorisation: github (and others) exhibit problems that have a real 
impact on freedom.

You should of course have the freedom to publish your personal design files 
wherever you wish, but the files in question represent, in some way, your 
contribution to a public project. As such, consideration must be given to the 
goals of the project and the ideals that underpin it.

Please keep up your good work!  The success of the project depends on 
contributions like yours.
