Exactly, it's v3 I have problems with, not v2.  That's what I have to
deal with, and I choose to deal with it by not developing with anything
tainted with that license.  My goal is to honour licenses, which is why
one that I can't agree to leads to not using stuff that is under that
license for development.

Note that I said I would not use ewebkit until that and a few other
things where sorted out, not that I would go "screw you and your
license" and not honour the license.  I'm honouring the license by not
using stuff that has it.  That's an acceptable method of honouring a
license.  I don't agree to the license, I don't use the licensed
material.
