Hrm, when did Brian claim his was the consensus view? Calling someone a liar should not be done lightly.

Well, again, if it came to a GR i doubt debian would actively support code
hoarders.

I doubt they would actively support offensive licensors either, so any such GR would be an interesting choice of the lessor of two evils.

A, a consensus is one where there is no discordant voice, right ?

Wrong.

What much more ? And what do you loose if upstream is allowed to use your code in the main product, and thus everyone profits ? Again, only a code hoarder
would reject this kind of clause, and as thus get no sympathy from me.

Can upstream not put it in the main public download product, only the Super Contrib Version given to their paying friends under the QPL?

I hope you don't tell your AM how you behave. I doubt they would appreciate it, either.
