Sometimes it is hard to tell the motivation. I would have preferred that the license discussion not be attached to the announcement of one particular project and instead treated as a different/new thread of discussion. That removes any doubts. A more appropriate use of the announcement thread would have been to discuss the project goals or technical questions. However, I agree that it is time to move on. We definitely don't want this devolving any further ..
