I won't reply to all this "my way" or whatever, as it is not "my way".
> So don't insist on a strange NDA that is likely to split our community. > Allow a license so all can join! I cannot see Wolfgangs license stopping people to join - only a certain group demands: my way or no way! Nobody stops you from delevoping Q40/Q60 SMSQ/E under the current license except for yourself - repeating the opposite over and over again does not make it true. If you want, you CAN. You could have kept buying fairly static SMSQ/E licenses at about 40 EUR, as it was agreed with Tony - until Wolfgang got something going which would help you in every way - less payment, chance to develop the OS further on and all I read from you are demands and demands, accusations and trouble for Wolfgang. Wolfgang is doing all this in good faith, I'm sure, and I am also sure that he may be willing to change if it becomes clear that things don't work the way they were planned to work (hoping that it is not deliberately sabotaged). But why shouldn't it work? Most of the problems have been sorted out. From what I see there are no major problems except from people who ONLY may do some work IF their demands are fulfilled. The only license they would join is the one they want to - no compromise, whatever changes Wolfgang may make. Remember, the difference between the previous status of SMSQ/E and the license as drawn by Wolfgang gives you most benefit and chances - already as it is. I think it would only be fair to Wolfgang to stop complaining now and give him and the license a chance. > So please give up your resistance against compromise. WHAT??? I always agreed on the changes proposed by Wolfgang, initiated by people on this list, especially all the latest changes. Who keeps complaining about "open source GPL" or nothing? Can't see much of a compromise attitude there. Jochen
