Hi Andreas, I don't disagree with anything you wrote, and of course we're allowed to use anything GPL'd. I don't think even politeness mandates pre-approval in order to *use* GPL code.
The "let's be nice" comment wasn't directed at you personally, or really anybody here - I think we're all being nice, helpful, and polite, which to me is one of the most important principles of FLOSS. :) It also wasn't a comment on our use of GPL code. It was related to our bringing in a copy of someone else's file, which is already under their own VCS, into our VCS. Doing so could give the impression that we're the authoritative copy of the file. I wouldn't want to usurp someone else's authority on that without their approval. I hope that makes sense. Cheers, -Barry
