If you release something under GNU GPL license you cannot revoke that license. "The GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users." The license can only be selectively revoked if people break the terms contained inside the license. If this gent has any reason to doubt this, I suggest talking to Dave (Turner) at the Free Software Foundation. He's in charge of licenses, so you can contact him at [EMAIL PROTECTED] The rest of the email is a waste of time. Johnson, I stress that we are meant to be making software, not helping people vent their bile in public. Your reposting of this does not help the project in any way. There are real things that need to be done. The FreeDOS Beta9sr2 distribution is broken (and I am working to fix that). There are bugs listed in the roadmap. I suggest contributing to something useful.
