Are you seriously arguing that it's fine to put arbitrary code in the Amdatu 
subversion repository, use the Amdatu name and release it without consulting 
anybody?

I'm fine with you moving this code to sourceforge or github and releasing it 
there on a personal title, provided that you do change the name to not refer to 
Amdatu in any way, but as long as its in our repository you should stick to the 
procedures we agreed upon.

Greetings, Marcel
