Mm? I though he said he can't prevent me. Which I understood as he was not trying to prevent it either.
There's undoubtedly a difference between what one can legally do and what one should do.
I can (both technically and legally) insert any changes into any aircraft I fancy in FGAddon and am under no legal obligation to hear what the aircraft maintainer has to say on the matter. Yet in practice, we very much honor the wishes and plans of the maintainers. I remember you defending the 'rights' of the maintainer in a very outspoken way:
Regardless of the fact that you have written permission into that global repository, you should not consider that you are OK by writing modifications in any/every of those aircrafts. (...) Therefore, writing into any of the subversion aircrafts is a decision you should not be taking too lightly. (...) But hardly will be accepting of you saying that you are a gatekeeper of his property.
(Perhaps too much for my taste - I see things on the repository not as property, but as responsibility - and unlike a property which you generally keep even if you use it unwisely, a responsibility needs to be exercised wisely or it should be taken away).
Yet, quite as Buckaroo observed quite correctly, you felt entirely free to do with my responsibility (property in your language?) as you please, going against my clearly stated intention of releasing something for the limited group of people primarily looking and writing in this thread only at this point.
You are quite within the letter of the GPL license - so you may do whatever you please - but don't ever again lecture anyone else from the moral high ground how your repository respects aircraft maintainers, because we just have established that it really does not care.
