I don't work for Novell, so I'm also "far less certain" about what your company might do behind the scenes. But you never will find me spreading FUD about that as you do in case of Sun. So I won't "counter" your public statement of mistrust against Sun with an own public statement of misstrust against Novell. But I hope that everybody sees that continueing to argue on that level doesn't work. If one reads the Novell CA and the SCA both make clear that eventually contributions end up in proprietary arrangements. You tell me that you are certain that Novell won't abuse that right, I assume the same for Sun. So what shall we do now: "I'm good, you are evil!" "No, *I* am a good, *you* are evil!" Sounds like kindergarten stuff to me - or, as the great philophers from Monty Python's Flying Circus said: "This is not an argument, this is contradiction!" You are permanently accusing people that work on the same project as you without the slightest proof that anything like what you accuse them for has ever happened or will ever happen. You even created the ridiculous impression that Sun could make business with such dubious "Butler Office" crap. You must be very desperate if you take this completely irrelevant "Butler office" as a welcome event to continue your crusade against the SCA. I'm really tired to read the same stuff again and again, each time with "arguments" more far-fetched than those you presented before. If you want to be taken serious in future you should stop your FUD and insults (Yes, I feel offended by your ridiculous accusations and allegations!). I got it: you don't trust Sun, so you obviously also don't trust me. I can live with that. But meanwhile we all know it. Repetitio non placet.
