Haven't you guys beat this horse to a pulpy smashed disembodied dark little stain? Who cares what Claude's latest whining jag is about. If the people runnning the Sedan project don't feel its a fit, then its not a fit and that's that.



> think much of the discussion here is because the admins weren't sure whether the proposed software was freeware or shareware, and also that the issue of source code not being provided was not in keeping with traditional open-source projects.

>The latest explanation was that there was an "acid test" - can the originator walk away and have the project taken over by somebody else. There was a feeling that Claude could not meet that (reasonable) test. More recently one of the admins has said it won't be included because of public abuse from Claude. If that's true, then I guess it's his own fault but that's not what was said at the start. Maybe they can make their peace and maybe he can meet the acid test. Or maybe if I go away and learn about Open Source, that will solve it. ;-)

I think my powers of comprehension are reasonably acute and having been among the first few to sign up for sednaX and having read all the releases, I felt there was a disconnect that looked bad. Well, now it looks worse. I'm sorry about that.
