Open Source: you're doing it wrong - the Pyjamas hijack

[Adrian Hunt]

Hi ya,

Please don't attack me or pull me into the centre of this conflict... I don't have any idea of what is really happening here; other than that I've read on the python-list mailing list.  Your right, I have never released any code, under any license of any description. I have only offered snippets of code to people/projects to be used as they see fit (besides my professional developments and private projects.)

All I did was to answer a mail sent to me by Ian Kelly (who I don't konw nor have ever had any prior contact with) about releasing code under a license... And, what I said stands: once anyone releases code, they are bound by the license they released it under as much as anyone else that may use it and cannot then withdraw that code from the domain they released it to (except by maybe creating a new and different version.)

Being dyslexic, my message (and this one) may not be worded in the best way but that is no reason to start on me!

        Hi Ian,

        

        Well there you have me... You release code under a license, you
        bound by it even if later you think better of it...  Seller be
        ware!!!!!!

      
    
    

    Sorry, but you are not being accurate. 

    "You" don't release code under a license, James Tauber did, or the
    Google Web Toolkit did. So you are in no positon to "think better of
    it" even if it was allowed to the original releaser.
