That is also my understanding.

I doubt it has anything to do with the 10 Euros.

The whole point of the license is not to milk the punter for more dosh but
rather to unify any future developments. Instead of biting the bullet and
trying to make the best of an imperfect arrangement by working with the
license from the inside, it appears we may have a rebel camp that is
hell-bound on doing what it pleases whatever anyone else may think.
Isnt that what its all about?

The license is an attempt to embody the wishes of the original author, Tony
Tebby which, as far as I am aware, he is perfectly entitled to do, legally
and morally. If we dont like the terms of the license we are perfectly free
to use the systems we already have a license for, move over to a system
with a license more congenial to our way of thinking or take up
plane-spotting instead.

The last thing we need, Im sure everyone agrees, is a new destructive split.
If we have one now is not Wolfgang's fault. Hes just doing his job. The way
to resolve this quickly is for the dissenters to think things carefully
through and either clarify their position, put their affairs in order, or
withdraw from the field.
