I'm sorry, but I think he's right about this. For one thing, as he just
explained, he got upset precisely because he wasn't informed; it's
reasonable to assume that the way in which his discussion would have
been performed would have been 'slightly' different had he been informed
in time. For another, I *do* think it is good practice for d-legal
contributors to inform a packages' maintainer if they are discussing its
license; we do the same with other types of bugs.
