Show me the line in those credits where it said "buy Coca-Cola cheaper here". They were credits, not advertisements.

Someone else has given the most extreme example of this. I thank them.

Can you supply their full verbatim phrasing so that we can discuss it accurately? I'd like to understand whether your characterization is correct.

Please take it up in an XFree86 thread. It has little to do with your problems.

You seem to understand the difference between credit and advertisement as advertisements are credits for those you dislike.

You seem to understand the difference between modification and plagiarism as plagiarism is a modification that you dislike because it doesn't praise you enough.

If they are putting their name on their software or its documentation, then surely it is a credit not an advertisement.

They are putting their name in other people's software and documentation too.

I thank others for continuing to point out your errors. I have a conference schedule to organise and papers to write, which are both preferable to a seemingly endless debate with an extremely hostile opponent of debian contributors.

I really hope that other filesystems replace yours if you won't get clue.
