Why should it make a developer angry? This is open source after all. Forks happen. If the fork becomes more popular than your project, well that's life. If a developer really wants that much control over his baby's destiny, then an open source license may not be his style, and maybe MS-style protectionism (patents, DRM, etc) will work out better. There are lots of reasons not to clone tomboy in Vala. Waste of time as you say, etc. But saying "[wouldn't it] make [the developer] angry" is not one of them. _______________________________________________ Vala-list mailing list Vala-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/vala-list
