Eine typische deRaadt'sche Überreaktion, würde ich nicht so wichtig
nehmen. Ich kann durchaus verstehen, daß man *ungetestete*
Patch-Versionen nicht zur freien Weitergabe zuläßt, Darren Reed hat klar
und deutlich zu verstehen gegeben, daß die Releases nach wie vor unter
der altbekannten Lizenz stehen. Er will damit verhindern, daß
experminetelle Versionen mit Bugs in freien Umlauf kommen. IMHO eine
gute Idee.

Just my EUR.02
