That's not comparable: The concerned authors *contributed* their
stuff, and the problem was not their attitude, but the fact that
Robert accepted and committed the files -- as *sole* reference
for embedded particles (cessna-fire.osg)! I asked him whether the
fire/smoke parts could be taken out of cessna-fire and be used
in GPL compatible files, and he said "no" --  not with the explicit
permission of the contributor. The failure is entirely on the
OSG side here. And yes, it's a shame! But so far we've been
immune to this disease. Un-free stuff is always rejected in
this project (mostly bundled with a nice flame war. :-)

Not that this has much to do with this thread, or Ian's
FlightGear problems.

Neither am I. I almost always read what he has to say (though
I often don't quite understand it), and I even often agree with
him. I just don't like it when people could get the impression
that he in some way represents the project. For that, I think,
he should first contribute some code/models/whatever. Anything!
(And not just words.  ;-)
