So, I was around last night but mostly feeling sick/disgusting thanks to a post-rubyconf sinus infection. For those unaware, Ryan started a discussion about the autotest gem ownership. I've made this tender thread public (wasn't aware it was private in the first place)
http://help.rubygems.org/discussions/problems/406-zentest-vs-autotest-zentest-without-autotest Clearly we need a few things here: 1) EULA as soon as possible that respects authors' intentions and the original licenses they were posted under. This isn't the first "you posted something like my gem name" we've had, and won't be the last. 2) A solid policy and process for resolving squabbles over gem names like this, be it voting or a general agreement among the maintainers *IN PUBLIC*. Luckily, grosser seems to be quite agreeable with what was proposed in that thread, it could have very easily not been that way. If this project isn't interested in respecting the OSS licenses we publish code under, I'm ready to step down. Let's work this out, for my sanity and for everyone else's too. -Nick _______________________________________________ Rubygems-developers mailing list http://rubyforge.org/projects/rubygems Rubygems-developers@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rubygems-developers
