ok, i'm fine with that. And i definitely didn't mean to say "let's give David only enough money so that he won't starve"!

I have an impression that we interpret the word "should" slightly different. I *suppose* Werner meant "David's work is worth being paid for, it would be good if David received payment for work". >On Thu, Nov 08, 2012 at 01:30:58PM -0800, Jim Long wrote: >> I think that there is 100% agreement that David should continue >> to work on LilyPond. > > With my previous paragraph in mind, I disagree; thus there is not > 100\% agreement. Again, i *suppose* that Jim meant something slightly different, more like "I think that there is 100% agreement that we would like David to continue developing LilyPond." Anyway, i suggest not to continue discussing the subtleties of the word "should" (and any moral obligations that might be implied by this word) *using email*. I'm afraid discussing this via email can easily cause misunderstandings and conflict; i strongly recommend using a voice chat for that purpose and i'll gladly join any chat you'd like to have this weekend. best wishes, Janek PS i'll send a separate email concerning the "sponsoring" page. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
