| > There was no prior discussion that I can remember Actually, Harold, you are either very stupid or have Alzheimer's or are a liar. In fact there was a very long discussion, initiated by me, about GPL and BSD to which you contributed a long irrelevant rambling reminiscence about Stallman. In it I discussed this very point and there was no dispute from you - nor from anyone else as to the legal point I was making. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/qilang/mVSJIyp-OhM Again there was another long thread, in which I explained about copyright and the course we were to follow https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/qilang/hWCTdM-0E0c In fact there were two weeks of open discussion in which I went into detail reiterating the same points several times and leaving the space open for debate precisely so we could have a common understanding. And we all, that is, everybody who actually is making a code contribution, came to an agreement about the law. And strangely we did not miss your sunny personality one bit. And after that Shen went to BSD and these copyright points were put into a brief paragraph to remind the people involved what copyright law means and we discussed how to present this to be clear. After we went to BSD. And you were and are mainly irrelevant to that process. And really these paragraphs are not written for you, because I regard you as pointless. It is written for those on the outside. Shen is BSD. |
> There was no prior discussion that I can remember of adding language to the master license file, let alone "hashing out"
Hashing out of that added language, like, oh, this: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/qilang/qGHfX3Iimqk/PBQerwjM2.... You are welcome to point out a specific message broaching this concept prior to this one two days ago https://groups.google.com/d/msg/qilang/WLwJmlxtXSU/rlG9j0SOn... which starts out saying:
"We had a long discussion about copyright and licensing and I've brought it together under a document which will be incorporated into the sources. You can find it here"
Which then pointed to the master licence file I quoted above for the first draft.
This is all I'm going to write. (From the message from you before this one I'm replying to.)
And here we have another example of your making a promise you were unable to keep.
