If the company illegally distributes my code to the public, I _will_ contact them in public as well. If they contact me in private _before_ distributing the code, I will respond in private. The exact same thing would have been true for you. But you did _not_ do any effort to contact me before distributing my code. > What are you saying? > > Was Marcus suppose do to have some sort of deal with you? The deal was: He asks for relicensing-permission on a particular faction of my code and I ACK or deny it. I explained the exact deal more than once. -- Greetings Michael.
