The actual order of events is: 1) Kigen posts a link to the binary without source. 2) Moderator removes the link, replies telling him to post the source. 3) Kigen readds the link without source (giving an edit reason of "fuck off"). 4) Moderator gives him a temporary ban. Zeal for supporting server admins is great, but thumbing your nose at the license is not. You can't post a binary with the promise of source coming later. The crux here is that after being explicitly warned about the license he ignored it. At the point in time of #3, he ignored the moderator and the license, so what's the moderator supposed to do? Continually edit out the link if Kigen puts it back yet again? The ban was justified, even though the source was posted soon after. And now taking the repository down while leaving the download links to the binaries working on his site also isn't the best way to deal with the license. Hopefully, he'll remove the binaries or put the source back up. -Fyren _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
