But someone has to believe claims. If I don't believe your claims that you aren't a rabbit, it doesn't make you a rabbit. Someone has to try to accept claims of fair development. If you don't believe us, how about this claim: OpenSSH on Linux has no major holes. Go ahead, keep using it. The fact is, you have to accept that some claims are done on fair grounds. If you don't, then no, you are right -- no cooperation is possible. > * also claims that the license (GPL in this case) isn't relevant > because the code doesn't "run" (hint: GPL covers redistribution too, > no matter if the code runs or not) Accidents were made.

How does cooperation start, if the first statements are about theft and lies? It doesn't.
