You completely miss the point. This has nothing to do with the license. It used to be an unwritten law that contributing an aircraft (or other subsystem) meant to *give*, not to give up! Contributors were supposed to develop their(!) aircraft in the repo as long as they wanted, and they kept full control. This was even true to the point that one could withdraw a once donated aircraft, and it *got* removed. (I think I don't have to give an example.) It wasn't the license that mandated it, it was respect. Something that's possibly missing nowadays. Only when a maintainer *wanted* to give up his work, someone else could take over as maintainer, or if nobody did, then the aircraft became community maintained. The license only meant that anyone could fork an aircraft, not that everyone could mess with the maintained instance in cvs/git, while completely ignoring the maintainer. Is that era of respect now over? Curt? m. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
