Your reading comprehension seems to be impaired. It was not a problem of "voicing dissent" with the documentation policies, but rather of failing to implement them in a project where he was in the officially appointed position for doing so. A GNU project maintainer is in a different position than other developers: he is responsible for the "GNU" aspects. Cf. <URL:http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/Recruiting-Developers.html#Recruiting-Developers> for the difference. Concerning licenses and other stuff, <URL:http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/License-Notices.html#License-Notices> might be of interest for the duties of a GNU project maintainer. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list gnu-misc-discuss@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
