Hi all,
sorry to carry this over to d-project but IMHO the BTS is not the
right place for the dispute below, moreover I'd like to learn what
Debian's current consent in these matters is.
appropriate Cc:s set.
I had to pipe Sandro's original message through
sed -e 's/NO!!! No lp/No lp please/'
before I calmed down enough for a moderate response.

Please don't tell me what to do with *my code* should I ever retrieve it.

Guess what, having been a DD from '95 to '04 I read and to a very small extent
participated in the discussions leading to what you are telling me here.
It's my impression from the last weeks I've been lurking around on
d-devel that Debian has changed a lot not only from the early days
with Ian Murdock and Bruce Perens as DPL but even from '04 when I
silently left not only the OSS world due to a malady.

I'd suggest you stop cursing, please calm down *before* hitting the
send button.
To sum it up, you know my decision, please respect it. The rest of my
lifetime is too precious to be wasted in pointless discussions.
Making things easy for DAM: if I still see no reaction on his part
during the next week, I understand it as a denial and I'm no longer
interested in reopening my account.
Sadly-yours
Siggy
