Is there any reason that you can't tell here? Please re-read the e-mail from Konstantine that started the thread.
If you can't tell anything, Is it okay to me assume that you just wanted make negative noise in the community with unidentified words? Please just share your thinking and let me hear and improve from it. I don’t see how having that discussion in public would serve any purpose. If you genuinely don’t understand — the end of our e-mail exchange was an invitation for you to call me on the phone and attempt to resolve those issues without the misunderstandings of tone that can happen in our e-mail exchange. The invitation stands. I will continue to look for ways to move forward in the spirit of cooperation and teamwork.

All of the relevant people are already informed. I continue to be ready to work cooperatively with anyone who would like to help me resolve the issues. I did clearly pointed what rule could be violated and provided a link and tried the best at explanation. Maybe this is a language issue, but I have no idea what your concern about a license is. You did cite to two web pages. Neither of them said anything that would explain your position. In fact, they confirmed what I had been saying all along. So i'm going to continue the discussion in the other thread about the license and will move the discussion to legal-discuss@. You’re welcome to do that, of course. I don’t know that I will participate. What i'm not really fine is, having not enough discussion and concern about license. That's sign of unhealthy community. As Konstantine has pointed out: The ASF has existed for 16 years. This cannot be the first time that this issue arose. The ASF has a “legal faq” and other public documents that discuss various licensing issues. In addition, a primary responsibility of the PMCC — perhaps the most important responsibility — is making sure the project conforms to ASF licensing policy. In terms of community health, my concern is that there is a great deal of confusion about these licensing issues, and people are not able to find a definitive answer simply by checking the ASF documents (or even attempting to do so). (Hint: I reviewed the ASF materials in great detail in preparing the PR.) I still don't know which part of the email are you referring. … What are you referring "the history"? You know *exactly* what I’m talking about. Amos, This mailing list is subscribed by hundreds of people. Let's not trying to make meaningless posts. I told you i *exactly* don't know what you're talking about "the history". So why don't you pin point what *exactly* you talking about, in public? Is there any reason that you can't tell here? If you can't tell anything, Is it okay to me assume that you just wanted make negative noise in the community with unidentified words? Please just share your thinking and let me hear and improve from it.

So i'll leave minimal comment here. I did clearly pointed what rule could be violated and provided a link and tried the best at explanation. You don't agree on my concern does not mean it's okay to pass. Just like i don't agree on your opinion does not mean it's confirmation of license problem. Of course my concern could be wrong, that's totally fine to me. I don't have any problem on that. I'm not a legal expert. What i'm not really fine is, having not enough discussion and concern about license. That's sign of unhealthy community. So i'm going to continue the discussion in the other thread about the license and will move the discussion to legal-discuss@. > > I don't know your view of history and what you think the history is. > Yeah you do. > > We had an exchange about it a week before this thread began. > > Some of it even spilled-over into the PR comments after I saw the video. > > I still don't know which part of the email are you referring. The suggestion i made about your code? about the review? about the conference? about the meetup? What are you referring "the history"? Please say in public. What is the history and show how they're related to this thread topic. Otherwise I'll assume you just want to make a negative noise in the community.
