I tried to be polite and humorous earlier, but that didn't work so I'll have to be more direct. As the most-active current Autoconf maintainer I can state fairly authoritatively that this discussion is an unnecessary distraction for me, and overall is a net minus for the GNU project. You're certainly free to work on an Autoconf variant under the terms of the GPL, but the <autoconf@xxxxxxx> mailing list is maintained by and for GNU. Please don't use it to hinder the GNU project. _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
