I acknowledged what you wanted, I said no, and I asked for time to fix
it.  You did not afford me that courtesy or cooperation.

Alternatively, you should be capable of rewriting those 30 lines of
code in a way that satisfies your personal licensing goals, because
your requirements are not Debian policy.  If you can't hack this, then
you're not going to complete a GSoC project.

Now let me make obvious the absurdity of your claim:  My 30 lines of
super code, which is apparently software of irreplaceable brilliance,
is forcing you to put dirty code into Debian.  Mario Limonciello is at
fault because he ignores you, but you're still not brave enough to NMU
him, and I'm at fault because I follow typical and customary
engineering practices.

Nope.  This project is very much started, you have a head start, and
it looks like a sinecure.

My refusal to participate in a farce does not mean that I quit or
became disinterested.  Obviously I'm still paying attention.

When you let system breaking changes slide in review, and in doing so
disregarded the needs of our users, I withdrew my name and resources.

And I was indeed interested in becoming a Debian Developer.  I was
forthright about that desire.  Frankly, I thought that the shed
painting was part of a hazing ritual to get membership in the
organization.

You have a conflict of interest.  If what I say is accurate, then you
could be disqualified.

You got this challenge backwards.  You already have my code.  Show me
yours.  Either you've produced nothing new, or you're keeping it
secret.
