The opposite is true. It's too late. He has given up, because of your first mail. He has already deleted his work from our tree. > He should start to contact us to get relicensing permission from > us to speed up bcw development and stay legal. What bullshit. He should contact you, when he does not known that he's been found to have made mistakes? Do you even know the word 'mistake'? If you make a mistake, sometimes you don't know it has been made until someone tells you that you have made a mistake. And you did tell him. In fact, you told 2000 other people too. And you are surprised about what has happened? Are you living in a cave? Are you not human? Don't you know how people behave when they are publically attacked, and not treated with respectful private discussion to point out their mistakes? His deletion of the code has happened for one reason and one reason alone -- your way of trying to handle this.
