Deja vu all over again. Don't you guys read the archives?? You know the
saying, if you can't learn from history, you are doomed to repeat it.

One good thing. By raising the issue to a ripe stink, it is more likely
that word will get out, "if you don't want to be involved in the project
as purely charitable, then butt out". No way to guarantee that, but I
personally think it's still worth the effort to get the idea across. Very
nice idea. Even better than gnu.

Reminds me of that joke, where someone has to ask, "What about NO don't
you understand?". Maybe some people really just don't get the "no" part.
Is that possible? Even dogs and little children understand "no". :)
