Hi Nicolas,

I'm glad I replied to your email because...

... we are clearly miscommunicating here.

When I said:

     Future maintainers may of course interpret the recommendations of
     the FSF differently, but that's mine for now.

I just really meant what I said: future maintainer(s) can decide what
is the best interpretation of "15 lines of (significant) changes", but
since I'm the one responsible for handling copyright stuff for Org, I
ask you and co-maintainers to act as if my interpretation were true.

I didn't even imagine my statement could be rude, but I know see how
it can be perceived as rude, given the context.  Sorry for that.

It did hurt, as sarcasm always does somehow.

I don't.

I did not want to "lecture" or to "patronize", but I wanted to express
my feelings and listen to what I may have done wrong.

On a more general topic, I hope you don't disagree with the addition
of the GNU kind communication guidelines that I recently mentioned in
the manual.
