Hi Andreas,

I don't disagree with anything you wrote, and of course we're allowed to use
anything GPL'd.  I don't think even politeness mandates pre-approval in order
to *use* GPL code.

The "let's be nice" comment wasn't directed at you personally, or really
anybody here - I think we're all being nice, helpful, and polite, which to me
is one of the most important principles of FLOSS. :)

It also wasn't a comment on our use of GPL code.  It was related to our
bringing in a copy of someone else's file, which is already under their own
VCS, into our VCS.  Doing so could give the impression that we're the
authoritative copy of the file.  I wouldn't want to usurp someone else's
authority on that without their approval.

I hope that makes sense.

Cheers,
-Barry
