Right, which is part of the assumption that he isn't "hostile" to the fork, but I'd be very much happier about things if we could proceed with a completely clear conscience regarding the license, which means complying with it as-written as well as as-intended. > One related thing, distro inclusion is not what the users right now want. > Everybody here has installed from source and I don't think any common ubuntu > user want to install it anyway. 1. I'm a user, and I DO want distro inclusion. I'm definitely up to building from source (have done so on several different platforms) and even fixing problems in makefiles, lua, and c, but that doesn't mean I want to manually build from source every time I want to install the program. 2. It's not a matter of whether we want to push for distro inclusion NOW, but whether we will ever want to do so. If we proceed without addressing the license issues properly, we could end up with a lot of work put into a fork that will never be able to progress beyond the audience of technical users who are willing to build from source.
