If he did not attack me, then he at least does not care whether he
could.
I wrote that the *thread* - digressing from useful discussion about
software tools and into religion - was pissing me off.
I asked because I wanted to hear your point of view and your reason
(for changing license to CDDL). This is not very obvious when
searching the web, and the reason given on your website (which I only
found after asking the question) is somewhat vague.
Why is the CDDL "more free" and why do you particularly like it?
I wanted to hear your opinion and what you wanted to say - I was
genuinely interested in your side of the story. Considering how much
else you've written in this thread that seems little enough to ask.
When I searched the web I rather expected to find loads of mailing-
list posts, blog entries and other articles and that half of them
would announce what a rotter you are, the other half how poor old
Joerg has been stitched up. But it is NOT so obvious from Googling.
Since this is the case you would benefit your case by explaining
better on your website.
As I told you already I might quite aggressively support your
software if you would just make the effort to convince me. No one
else on this list mistook my question for antagonism. I deliberately
tried to be polite and tactful when asking you, and it did me no good
at all! Frankly, therefore, I can see why everyone is "against you"
if you insist on misconstruing an innocent question as an attack. If
my example is anything to go by then I can only assume that the whole
Debian and Bloch fiasco is the result of your own over-reaction
(sorry to be so honest about how I see things!).
