I am getting upset about it now because I had no idea that your LiS
was released under GPL until right now.  If I had known about it
before I probably would have gotten upset about then....

Because you are creating confusion by making no distnction between
your GPL version and the "main" LiS LGPL source.  If you keep it on
openss7.org and clearly mark it so that people know that they are not
getting the GCOM LGPL version, then there is no problem...
