....*YOUR* gendef tool?  Earnie copied all of Kai's code and stuck it
in your repository, then changed all the licenses.  It's completely
stolen.

....*PROPER* ?  There's nothing wrong with our port.

Continuing Earnie's trend of stealing without credit?

...More insinuations that the mingw-w64 was not documented.  Sorry,
but it was.  So much so that it passed all of RedHat's legal team's
tests.

Or maybe you should stop trying to steal like Earnie and instead try
to just work with us, like many other projects have done now (Fedora,
Wine, ReactOS, etc.)
