Hi Andreas,
(and thanks for raising this Stephan)
I appreciate the work that you do maintaining the extensions repository
- and it is always difficult to handle feedback.
As you know - if people have a legal concern - they are encouraged to
raise it directly with legal@ - and not engage in lengthy public
discussions.
Andreas - I'd love to talk this through ? can I call you at some stage ?
ATB,
Michael.
