Yes, which is why I've been accepting his kernel patches the entire time that user-space has been forked into -fb. Now that the user-space code has been relicensed as promised, there is no longer any reason for a separate -fb fork to exist. That said, it's time to start moving forward toward a single set of source trees for upstream userspace, so that all distributions can mutually benefit from the effort. As mentioned above, this has so far not been enough to get -fb reconciled with upstream. So I don't consider the above 'holding for ransom' or any nonsense like that, considering the end goal is for everyone (not just Fedora) to benefit from -fb.
There's nothing stopping any other distro (or commercial entity) from adopting targetcli-fb. I don't know why they haven't, except that there's a default attitude that the originator of the project is the "upstream" forever.
I think I've done a pretty good job maintaining -fb over the past two years -- -fb has bug tracking, a list, tarballs, and is actively maintained and improved, all things that are not true of upstream.
My question to you (Nick) is, why don't we all just unify on -fb?
