As a regular contributor, I think I deserve a voice, but I want to stay 
neutral.

Firstly, I want to make my position clear: I am also a GPL fan, but I 
respect Marc and Jay's license choice, and will continue to follow in 
the future. It's not necessary because I fully agree on ASL, or because 
Marc/Jay are the founders; it also does not mean that I don't care my 
contribution; it's because Marc made his point clear and I accepted it, 
and I fully TRUST that they will continue to make good use of my 
contribution and benefit the project and people who need it, even it's 
under ASL.

Secondly, I remember Otavio mentioned that "the decision is made by 
personal interest". To be honest, even it's true it's nothing wrong. If 
the decision would be actually hurting the project, how could someone 
think it will still benefit personal interest? I am just a tech guy, and 
I believe that only decisions that benefits the group would benefit 
individuals.

Regarding the xp-unlimited discussion, yes in order to solve the issue I 
volunteered to spend some days for the design, but this is NOT wasted, 
and I truly believe it worths the effort. In the end, everyone is happy 
and the project continues to grow, and that is really what it matters.

So, here's my suggestion. We should look at the future, not the past. I 
don't want to see any anything that was already contributed has to be 
removed. This just does nothing good to everybody. Those who want to 
stay will eventually rewrite them; those who want to fork will just 
waste their energy trying to merge them (if they still want to merge), 
and obviously no one wins. So at least, I hope we would have an 
agreement to migrate all current contribution to ASL and move on. I 
don't think anyone will lose.

I wish I can bring some tea, not fire, into the discussion. :)
