So far, YOU are the one hurting this project. Do I have to remind you the
whole xp-unlimited mess? You were trying to push the xp-unlimited extension
within the core of FreeRDP, something which the rest of us did not agree on.
I've been a fool to think that taking your side would actually help calm
things down. I made a skype call with you, taking my personal time to read
the xp-unlimited spec and propose ideas. Even if the spec clearly described
how the extension could be made as a wrapper, you insisted on trying to push
it in the core because it was more convenient for you.
So here I am stuck with this problem:
Yes, you contribute code. But you are also very stubborn and your opinions
often contradict with the rest of the developers. Endless fights on the
mailing list drain energy which could be spent on useful collaboration
instead. You're actually the only one left who hasn't agreed to the license
change. Since it's not the first time we are very close to a consensus and
that you are again the personal responsible for not reaching consensus, I
have no reason to think that you won't continue to object to everything so
stubbornly in the future.
Stop fighting and insisting that much. Please make your choice, whatever it
is.
