I said that I would research this GPL thing back in March and I sent the results of the research to the mailing list in a clearly labelled message. I have no intention of doing research to find a URL. I've verified that it was actually sent in my personal archives. I also have no intention of rationalizing why I am trying to be consistent in enforcing the license and I have no intention of discussing your psychological suppositions as to why I do what I do. On rereading my GPL clarification email I can see that I didn't take my own advice when responding to the email that started this thread. "We should try to be non-confrontational when we bring issues to the attention of the well-meaning people who think they are open source advocates if they provide our binaries on their site.' I don't think I was particularly confrontational when I suggested that including the sources was required but I was when responding to the typical response to that suggestion. I can't guarantee that I won't be annoyed in the future by having to explain this YA but I'll try to remember to keep the non-confrontational aspect of the response in mind and reign in my distaste for this particular part of my cygwin maintainership duties. Strangely, this part of cygwin maintainership is not even a volunteer effort. Both Corinna and I have an obligation to Red Hat to see that the Cygwin license is enforced. cgf -- Please use the resources at cygwin.com rather than sending personal email.
