This goes for anyone else here who actually cares what happens to this software, and is reading through this list because they need to get something done ! Not as anger management therapy !

I, for one, have been watching SL for a couple of years, selected it from available open source options, I obviously like the mans work, and have long held up Dieters business model as a perfectly reasonable aproach. HOWEVER, this zealot (me) IS concerned when development of key software components is stalled, sidetracked, or hi-jacked. The fork is the preferred tool to restore proper meritocracy. Whether or not we are using SQL-Ledger a year from now is, at this point, up to Dieter. There is impetus to improve this code base, as well as talent. If SL development is inclusive, it has a chance, if competitive, it will fall behind. This is the GPL in action, and if you don't like it, well... idonno, I guess you just have to cry into your keyboard while obstructing your favorite software project. and THUSLY I add your email address to your third favorite hole; /dev/null rave on, but I can't HEAR you !
