Hey Melchior,
It is not nice and very dishonest of you. Take one sentence from my post
and use them as for the answer.
I said that I agree with you in principle and that it was actually all
about respect!
What I wanted to tell you is that by placing your work in GPL you can
not ban that as you did. You just hope that everyone will respect your
work and will not make GIT on without your consent. But this is only
hope. And the number of persons involved in FG are more and more, it
happens increasingly often that sort of thing. This is unfortunately a
risk to take.
I personally solved the problem by having my prorpre hangar. If tomorrow
I refuse an update, I just need to put the previous version that will
always be in my hangar.
You know very well, respect the authors is important for me too. And I
disagree with these methods. But I can that accept because they always
exist. Fortunately they will always be rare cases
Regards Emmanuel
