Unauthorized use of my music.

[ZhayTee]

Hi guys,

I'm really sorry to see that this thread has exploded into a bit of a shitstorm. It was not my intention to stir anything up.

While I find most of the things MikeeUSA writes to be deplorable in the utmost sense of the word, I respect his right to express himself freely. He has sent me a fairly cordial e-mail, and I responded in kind. Whether or not he has received my e-mail is up in the air.

I have decided to allow my music for Adonthell and Battle for Wesnoth to be used under the GPL. This will prevent any sort of hassle from being laid upon the shoulders of the developers or the package maintainers.

I am extremely disappointed to see that MikeeUSA has taken it upon himself to go all vigilante-style with his bug reports to the Debian project. That is not at all the way this situation should be handled, in my opinion.

I will be in touch with the maintainers of those packages, and the developers of the projects, to ensure that nothing sticky happens as a result of MikeeUSA's rash behavior.

Thanks for your support,

Well thats not your fault. That guy keeps coming back here though it was clearly expressed that he is only welcome here as long as he keeps back on his personal/political opinion on women rights. Sofar he was not able to be was banned after at least 6 times after similar ugly shitstorms..

It might be right that he has that right in an democracy but this is a public forum with certain rules and we expect those rules to be followed. This is a forum about a good game not a place to spam discriminating stuff. He had more then enough chances to 'get' this.

Its good to see you did not loose faith into opensource because of such stupids like mikeusa. Actually his whole behaviour is just asking for trouble and i'm thankful you did stay true to opensource unlike him.. I just hope its not too much of an hassle to you to keep in touch with those developers and clean up some others mess that was only done to cause trouble..

Thanks for your support,

We just have you thank you as much and you can be sure to be welcome here

I followed this "discussion" quietly until now. But I have just to express that I am very impressed by your patience and willingness to clean up a mess caused by some ignorant fool.
Thank you ThayTee, it allways remembers me that there is still hope, when other people keep faith with "the good things"

Thanks a lot dude, that will reduce a lot of stress for a lot of people.

I don't realy get it btw. why wesnoth should be removed from debian repos if the music gets closed source. Isn't CONTRIB the place for packages like this? Remove the music from the main game, but add a musc package in contrib as recommendation.
Oh, and ZhayTee, we all thank you

[KadaverJack]

Isn't CONTRIB the place for packages like this?

No. Contrib is for opensource software, that can't be compiled without non-free software.

[C.Brutail]

K, thx for the correction.
