If ALS can not do certain things with the quality that I want, I am free to modify my code in order to get what I think is the best result, if an ALS tomorrow will change some parameters it will be my responsibility
And I'm the maintainer of ALS and make the judgement to reject (or not create) on the repository any additions to it which I believe are detrimental to the stated goal of creating a consistent and realistic viewing experience.
You in turn are free to do whatever you like, but the question at hand seems not that I curtail your freedom somehow, but that you're asking
me to add something I believe should not be added, I said no and you can't accept that for some reason. If anything, you're infringing on my freedom here, since, well, may I remind you that I am working on the code of ALS and do not need your permission to do that as I judge fit.
(Strange that
your project remains stoutly your own decision and responsibility, but
my project is supposed to be decided by others such as you in your view - care to explain where the difference comes from?.)
If now you want to respond to the 2 requests I made in the previous post about a problem that I have highlighted,
With a due sense of futility - I've responded by saying 'no' a while ago.
remember who decides the community is not you ...
You're mis-informed - as far as ALS is concerned, it is I who decides (I'm the responsible maintainer on the merit that I wrote 95% of it myself). The GPL license gives you the right to make any modification
on your own repository but really doesn't even say anything about your right to do that on the FG repository.
I've given you my reasons why I view a more tunable parameters a bad thing, I'm prepared to give the same reasons to the other core developers (and expecting they'll be deemed quite acceptable) - I can't honestly see where in this you're being wronged, so please leave it at that - you're not creating a particularly constructive atmosphere with the 'false prophet' side-track.
