So the source isn't shared because someone won't follow the policy of the site? Sounds like a wanna-be licenseing policy except that it'd be much clearer if it was written down as a licenseing agreement. Of course, it would be DFSG-compliant, but I guess that's not something you're too concerned about, eh? > That Ingo did not blindly agree to follow James wanna-build policy has > no direct connection at all to this but is caused by the same problem, > the communication problem between james and Ingo. > > There never was a context of 'we won't share our scripts because they > won't let us not follow their polciy, or whatever'. I doubt this- if Ryan had just said "sorry, not interested", or whatever, and there wasn't any other history to it then I doubt the request from whomever else it was (I forget atm) would have been denied. Of course, I don't know for sure, no one really does. Stephen
