Well, have him look into the LinuxTag vs SCO affair in Germany for
example, and how SCO was effectively shut up.

You were speaking about backward debian. If this is not plain FUD, i
would very much like that you explain to me what you meant by that, and
provide some kind of evidence for your assertions. If you are failing to
do that, you will admit that your words were slanderous. You have in the
past already many times issued very negative and either maliciously
false or uninformed statements about debian, so this is a repeated
offence. Please correct your attitude on this subject.

> and G. Branden, remembery our fight with him on X.org about how he would not confront the XFree86 team about his accusations of the licenses issues (those very licenses like SGI's GLX that are in this new approved debian release) that he SLANDERED, to use your word Sven, against this very project.

First, i am not subscribed to the X.org mailing list, so anything that
happens there, i have only info from as second source, or when quoted
here. I thought myself to be on the XFree86 side on this issue, but your
attitude is quickly making me regret this.

Second, please, don't associate me in any way with Branden, i am in no
way responsible for his words and outburst, and have been under his
direct fire because i supported your licencing changes, despite not
believing it was the right thing to do, against him and his croonies.
But i sure as hell didn't expect to get the same treatment from you on
this subject, and i am becoming increasingly sick of it.

Well, you can't accuse me of ignoring some message i never read, so ...
