Bump. Please can we have an answer?

Just one example (of many): Contained in the 'app' is the Bash binary. The GPL states that if you are going to redistribute GPL code, you must make the source of your app available.

He was hosting the app on Sourceforge, but it was removed from there - possibly due to me reporting it.

He has repeatedly refused to make the source available.

I'd like to know why maemo.org allows his thread and his signature here? By not taking any action, they appear to be condoning it.

I'm personally interested in this as it seems to go against FOSS principles, and as someone who has contributed time and effort to the open-souce world it makes me angry he gets away with it.

Thanks for listening.

Heh, I think we should create a short list of unanswered questions.

The post from jaffa and the un-answered questions list request should be enough evidence that the council are not doing quite enough to satisfy the members of this community and i request they at least look at this seriously.

Am i allowed to say they are failing in there duty as it should be for this community or not?.

Can the council be more objective and forthcoming in some answers please?.

Can abill_uk be banned for a longer period of time? Whoever is allowing him back is letting him trample on the rest of us by dint of being willing to outtalk anyone. To me, he is a far worse problem than Orange_Box ever was.

You're entitled to your opinion, however misguided it may be.

And the council is and always has been as objective (and tolerant) as a body of humans can possibly be. We've developed tough skins; I recommend them for everyone.

This thread isn't the place for that appeal (EDIT: then again, maybe it is).

I'm not going to argue your actual points.

For what reasons have you as you said "developed tough skins" ?.

Maybe the current council is facing problems because of Nokia that none of the previous had to face?.

The response to both statements is "due to excessive TMO noise".

But there again we have a situation happening with Nokia that has never been the case before and people are very pissed with them so hence the "noise" levels have grown all round on TMO.

More the reason for the council to adopt a more friendly approach to its members and share with everyone the actual problems instead of having to "hide away".

You know the old saying... a problem shared is a problem halfed etc etc.
