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 > -- > >
