Dear Jambunathan, 

your displeasure is very well registered by the hundreds or even
thousands of readers of this list. 

It is very sad to see an obviously very gifted and energetic programmer
going in "lonely fighter mode" without obvious reasons.

But: The papers the FSF asked you to sign were constructed for exactly
this case I assume. 
No developer may ever have the rights to destroy afterwards what nice
piece of work he once gave to the community!

I must admit the FSF is to praise. It always seemed  a bit restrictive
to me to demand that time consuming process of sending the paperworks
all over the world. Now I understand. 

You authored valuable parts of orgmode, yes. And you promised
and decided, through signing the FSF papers, to never take it away
again.  

Now you changed your mind. Humans, even programmers, change
their mind. Nevertheless there is your promise on paper, signed by you.
It is impossible for you to take anything away now and, morally,
that's the right thing, too. Otherwise some contributors could easily
destroy communities and their spirit at will whenever their
mind would change. 

So, thanks for your great contributions! No kidding here. 

Find some peace of mind.

Best regards
Detlef
