I sense there is a small feud going on here, and perhaps the public lists
are not the best place to play that out.
We've always encouraged people to work together if they have an interest in
building the same aircraft as someone else. It just makes sense that 2 or
more people can pool their efforts to build something better than a single
person can do on their own.
But that's not a fixed requirement. If someone wants to make their own
version of an airplane that already exists, there's no policy against that.
FlightGear should be a place of freedom to work on whatever you want in
whatever way you want. Our licensing terms ensure that folks can share
their work and learn and benefit from each other. So if we make our best
attempts to coordinate our efforts and work together, we can accomplish far
more than we can individually.
Not everyone is going to get along perfectly all the time, that's a natural
thing between human beings. But in a professional environment such as ours,
we can at least strive to be cordial and express our disagreements and
differences in a level headed manner. It really doesn't help the project
when someone gets bent out of shape about something. 95% of the time it's a
simple misunderstanding or miscommunication anyway.
Regards,
Curt.
