If discussing the manners in which a license violation can be properly
resolved is to be deemed "putting the Project at increased legal risk",
then I suppose the list should be dissolved.

I do find these personal, repeated attacks to be highly inflammatory
(and so trollishly so that I don't feel responding to them individually
to be necessary).  If you're incapable of discussing a subject civilly
and respectfully, then I'm not interested in discussing it with you at
all.

Debian and d-legal take license compliance very seriously, and nothing
I've said suggests otherwise.  If you believe otherwise, you're badly
confused.

Like many participants on this list, I'm also not a DD, and have never
represented myself to be one.

In any event, you've shown yourself to be incapable of polite discussion,
having started out rudely demanding and quickly working your way to flaming,
despite the fact that everyone else involved has been civil and patient.
I'm going to expend my patience on someone else.  Bye.
