It's unbelievable how you show so much caring so much for these other corporate code bases, but you are inhuman towards a person. You included Quaker.Fang@sun.com to let him know of this problem, that's very nice of you. But you did so in a mail where you ACCUSED Marcus of being a thief. That's very pro-Corporate, and very anti-Human. You just have zero empathy. When you don't have any understanding at the emotional level of how other people will react, you just aren't being a complete human. You can't be that harsh towards people and then give them choices, and expect to get well reasoned results. I suggest you look at http://tinyurl.com/jqh2p And I am stunned that so many of you who are cc'd don't say anything about this. Is it OK for open source developers to accuse each other publically like this, and not try private discussions first?
