I only step into this discussion because I foresaw that the first mail
would result in a flame.
It would have been probably more adequate wihout a stone-coat as opposed
to a lack of a sugar-coat.
From an outsiders-POV you can imagine how hard it would be not to treat
this as a personal attack and I can understand Zeev defends himself
(even with a kind of counter-attack) as I can see valid expressed
worries from saschas POV (although I cannot speak for him).
As I do not want to (and probably am not able to) judge who has (more)
valid points the only conclusion can be: this should have been kept on
[EMAIL PROTECTED] As it's to late now let's memorize it for the future.
Regardless of that, for both of you is valid that flames leave traces
(the lists are monitored, as you know) and regardless of it's bad for
one or the other it is *bad for the reputation of the community*. I
really would like to see these issues (eg. how much the licenses
restrict people) settled with care, regardless of who you are and what
you achieved and contributed to the community.
For sure, these issues need to be discussed as people are concerned, GPL
is evil, QPL is evil, maybe LPGL and PHP license are evil, who knows,
but community is community and the behaviour of group members should be
representative.

ps. don't try to find a bias for one of both parties, I tried to remain
as much neutral as possible.
