and debian-devel was not CC'ed.

I don't know what were the reasons in the Gavriel State email (I repeat we
were not CC'ed) but if it is still 'we will change our license if you
do so', this is not good at all.

I don't use winex but If I was using it I would take over to package it.

And some compare Transgaming and XFree. Crazy world.
