I don't remember voting and accepting the fork, do you?
I did not mention "voting".
And "accepted as fine", it was (in a mail by Gary), even though
the real reasons for the fork were not given.
And "fine" was a summary of something like "it is best for all
parties".
Well, I don't think so.
For 10 years, I put up with _many_ things I disliked, because
I am convinced that team work is better (as long as the rules
are well defined). [It's the latter that was lacking in CM and
left so much room for arguing to no end.]
The fork was not
a decision from the Commons PMC. We had no other choice than
acknowledging it, because that's how the open source world works.
Of course, but that's a very short summary. It leaves out all the
context (like that there hasn't been any attempt to reconcile the
viewpoints).
What I'd have expected is a strong statement that the fork was
indeed not good (as you say below!).
So
even if it's indeed "fine" from a legal point of view,
From a legal POV, we did not have to "acknowledge" anything.
I don't consider
it good for the community and the code.
My point, precisely.
