I fully agree with you.

  >If the code was used in an illegal way in terms of licenses; I feel for the author. Otherwise not really. It seems like you only think the author has a right to be frustrated if the license is used in an illegal way, not if they license is followed but the users are abusive.

    Sorry guys, I'm giving up on this thread now I've tried to be focused and responsive, but instead of responding to my arguments, people like you seem intent on hunting for quotes elsewhere in the thread, somewhat at random. This is like the third time in this thread alone.

      Ah, sorry. I didn't realize that something you said less than half an hour ago, in the same thread, in the same context, has no business being quoted. Apologies. Who would of thought things you said previously about a subject might be brought up later in the conversation?

        Don't feel bad. I've learned a lesson; never enter an open source discussion with GPL developers.

          No, the lesson is to not say stuff in a discussion and then refuse to discuss it.
