That is exactly what I am saying. However, there is a bit more in that than a local project agreement, in this case. As you might probably know, back in the day, the main reason behind choosing one thing over another was consistency with other major FOSS and proprietary software. I do not want to ridicule Tomas here, but yes, he is absolutely right on the point that some projects (e. g. Mozilla) have a friend of mine involved, for those of you in the conspiracy theories. It is ironic, and upsetting, though, that the ones accused of pushing one term over another in a totalitarian manner (whom Tomas has ingeniously called "'failas' gang members") were the ones who, first of all, had to get over their personal preferences and swallow it all for the sake of the aforementioned integrity to get where we find ourselves today. It actually was a local project team agreement, as Ihar put it, or policy, if you want. But that is the way it goes. And the way I see it, it is plainly unreasonable to have it all rearranged just because someone comes up with an objection "to respect" his work, for he prefers one thing over another. Obviously, Tomas has different thoughts and would like it to be the other way round. I understand his discontent and do not want to upset him, however, to me the die was already cast and we should keep holding onto that policy and move along. The issue arises from that that the charger does not take it seriously, or misunderstands it and takes the case to be an issue of personal recognition and respect (which is understood in a somewhat obscured manner here when you look at it the way previous emails suggest). Needless to say, if Tomas or anybody else came up with other serious issues, which do not involve dealing with the aforesaid agreement, such as incorrect, inaccurate translations, spelling mistakes, etc., it would be different matter altogether. Lastly, I am convinced that it is almost impossible to understand a thing without leaving aside emotional background and all the gall first. I am trying my best to explain the reasons and situation to get it all sorted out, but it is getting tiresome and hopeless.
