Yes, you've said that repeatedly, and I've acknowledged that repeatedly.
It's irrelevant to the fact that suggesting it to you for evaluation is
completely reasonable.
I'm not arguing this further; it's irrelevant to the freeness or non-freeness
of the QPL, and a waste of my time, since you're impervious to civil, rational
discussion.

Due to your track record with respect to being courteous, I don't particularly
care about your opinion of my behavior--it's like being condemned by a career
burgler for filching a pencil.

No, it isn't. There was a clear consensus at the time to the non-freeness
of the QPL, and the only people I see disagreeing with that now are you
and possibly Matthew Garrett.

I'm sorry to disappoint your expectations, then, but I'm not going to lie
about my experiences with Brian. (I could "expect" you to retract your
false accusation of Brian misrepresenting the consensus of debian-legal,
but I'm sure I would be similarly disappointed.)

You need a demonstration of why being polite, civil and reasonable is the
right thing to do? I think I'll not waste my time.
