Does he? I read "GNU Project" above, not "GNOME project". The only thing
I've seen in this discussion written by Richard is a polite request with
arguments and a clarification. And don't do as if this is only Richards
own view, that's simply not true.
But people, please stop this thread or make it constructive. This doesn't
help nobody. (This is not targeted at anybody in particular, I respect
the work of all participants of this discussion; we just can't agree on
everything it seems.)
I'll try to contribute by not responding to reactions, if they appear,
which aren't clearly constructive.

With kind regards,
Elros
