Where did I say it had to? Please read the thread again. I talked about
Debian business, not Bas'.

Did you ever consider contacting upstream before doing such
denouncement? Don't they have something to say? Why do you think you
cannot find a solution with them?

You got it! It has nothing to do in a bug report log from our BTS:
Date: Mon, 26 Aug 2002 23:17:21 +0200
From: Robert Millan <zeratul2@wanadoo.es>
To: Bas Zoetekouw <bas@a-eskwadraat.nl>
Cc: rms@gnu.org, 154312@bugs.debian.org
Robert could have done it on his own without CC'ing the BTS.
