Again, Justin, you just don't seem to "get it".
I don't think that licenses are special. I'm simply trying to remain legal
and actually follow the licenses as closely as possible by getting the
advice of as many people as possible.
What I don't understand is your resistence towards me gathering
information from all the sources I can before doing something. I find
your reaction below very derogatory and definitly along the
lines of your pro-censorship ideology that you attempted to put on me
yesterday on your Wiki site. For those of you not in the know, Justin
attempted to place censorship when I placed the same information that
is on our websites about Turbine and Velocity on his Wiki site so that his
community would know about the other projects that are either using
WebMacro (ie: Turbine) or based on ideas from WebMacro (ie: Velocity).
What Justin did was he edited my pages and either removed them entirely or
removed 90% of the content and placed his own opinions into the pages.
Total censorship. Eventually, when I pointed that he was censoring me out
to him, he stopped trying to modify the pages.
