My last words to and perhaps reading of the threads about the evil that someone forked a project from Fons, that was GPL'ed by Fons and nobody else. Nobody showed a violation of the GPL by Maurizio M. Gavioli, just a mistake he seemingly is willing to correct after I contacted him, something Fons could have done too. Humans tend to make mistakes. If Fons makes a mistake it's ok, if somebody else makes a mistake she/he is bad, should shut up, should stop forking a project, should be fired. Fons made a mistake, he chose the GPL, while he disagrees with the GPL. And now I read to often "please, please Fons, continue writing GPL'ed software, we will reinterpret the GPL for you". Fons is free to stop contributing or to continue contributing by using another license, but if he chose the GPL, he's the only one to blame and not Maurizio M. Gavioli. Calling him simple-minded (because he is one of those Fons was talking about, even while he didn't use Maurizio's name) is offending netiquette, not forking the project is offending netiquette. "Aeolus is meant to emulate a pipe organ, including the limits of a real one. It's not meant to be a backend to some sequencer or notation software, or a general-purpose additive synthesiser." - Fons Maurizio M. Gavioli seems to fork it, for usage with notation software. Any discussion about something that should be wrong with doing this, is a shame and does harm the GPL.
