Damn, when I saw Jons post I knew this would happen, a flame war. And I
guess I'll read it all, even if my first reaction was that this list
does really not need to know if Turbine is legal with WebMacro or not.
If it is illegal, WebMacro will be dropped from the Turbine distribution,
as there is an other option. If it is not, I don't see why it should,
and I don?t see how it matters if the readers of this list know that
people at ASF had doubts.
Why can't we just get along?
