Salam,
Fribidi is good enough, there's no need to reinvent the wheel, it would be a
disservice to yourself and it would certainly not bother anyone else but
those who would have to code it again.
The good news is: it is LGPL, so who cares about what someone who
contributed a couple of lines of code to it might say?
Seriously, you should have just laughed at his suggestion. I doubt that many
Arabs would feel bound by any limitations Israelis could try to put in OSS
licenses about them, and vice-versa (do you see an Algerian in a court in
Haifa against someone who violated his prohibition to use his OSS by an
Israeli, or symmetrically, an Israeli in Khartoum sueing an Arab over an OSS
license violation?:):))
Yallah, just ignore that, it's unnecesary noise.
