This is bull. Paying no attention to what Joerg says is a mistake. You might disagree with the focus of portability that caused him to be in disagreement with particular distribution maintainers, but he's no fool. And 'we don't like Joerg' is *NOT* the reason why systems *claim* to have reverted - it is indeed because he's started to licence his build stuff under CDDL, which is a bona-fide free license, just one the FSF doesn't like. And it may in fact be that distributing such a build system as part of a GPL package is inadequate. Of course, its not necessary to provide a makefile - a GPL'd shell script that compiles the world each time would have done. Stupid GPL stuff, if you ask me - but you didn't, so who cares.
