I already dealt with that unreasonable position in another email.

It's not at all unreasonable to expect you pro-non-free bigots to shut 
up and let us actually use the decision process we have, instead of 
saying "don't mention the non-free. I did once, but I think I got away 
with it." If you still want to package or use non-free, then express 
your view. If the decision goes against you, maintain it some place 
else. Quit trying to sabotage the project by insisting we must 
irrationally keep non-free after its support has waned too much.

Again, I see you have "seconded" something which we still don't know 
is mule or fowl. Do you think you seconded an amendment or a new 
proposal?
