And you are not happy to discuss things with them. Why don't you just stay away from this list then ? That way, everyone would be happy. Every time, you come here, it results in a thread with 100+ useless mails. > We have the lawyers from Sun legal, we have my German lawyers and we have > Lawrence Rosen (the legal advisor of the OpenSOurce Initiatice OpenSource.org) > that all confirm my statements.

First, STOP talking to Joerg. Then, if you want to do something about it, just go ahead and talk with these people Joerg kindly mentioned.
