If you don't understand his reaction, Michael, then perhaps you are not a caring loving human being, sensitive and able to be hurt. I am surprised if you can't see that roughly half the people on this planet would do EXACTLY as Marcus has just done. > If you were really interrested in doing a Broadcom wireless driver for > openbsd, you would have chosen the option to relicense some code (and > therefore drop only that code which I refuse to relicense), which I gave > you. Oh, let's see... Marcus should have guessed that there was a problem, he should have guessed that he had made a mistake, and mailed you BEFORE you let him know, in a public forum. You keep assuming he did this on purpose. You do realize that by continuing to assume he did this on purpose, and assuming that he was not trying his best to do this right, you are basically accusing him of being a thief? No, I guess you just don't realize that. > It's a pity. I'd like you to sleep a night over this and rethink > your decision tomorrow.

Maybe if you apologized to implying he's a thief, in a large public posting, then he might. > This will make you and us happy Why would you want him to make you happy? I thought he just made you happy, by deleting it. After all, that was one of the options you gave him. Hell, everytime I re-read your original posting, I see that what he's done is choose the obvious choice.
