What the GPL foundation recommends is the most obvious way and convinience really isn't an argument for what is the right thing to do, if you ask me.

That is an explanation as good as any, but it doesn't justify anything, I'm afraid. Furthermore, this is not the first time it's been pointed out to Bernie that it's better to contact the developer(s) it concerns directly before posting claims and accusations in public forums.

Why humiliate someone in public for something that could be and seem very much like a simple and unintentional neglect? Bernie has taken part of similar discussions before (you too, remember?) and should know better, I know he does. Why he insists on discouraging Amiga developers from coming anywhere near GPL licensed software is beyond me, I thought he was quite a supporter of the GPL. |
