--- Comment #11 from Olivier F. R. Dierick o.dierick@piezo-forte.be --- Hello,
I don't know why you people insist on breaking the rules, but whatever, since you're questioning me publicly here, I'll reply by the same means, until you cease.

- Excerpt from https://archive.org/about/:
"Anyone with a free account can upload media to the Internet Archive. We work with thousands of partners globally to save copies of their work into special collections."
Anyone can upload anything and make it available to the public, so it's equivalent to a generic filesharing website.
AFAIK the main use is mirroring things that are already public. Do you have evidence that a random person can replace a binary from http://example.com with their own? That's the first I've heard such an allegation.
I've never heard such an allegation either, except from you, right now.
The excerpt is taken from the archive.org website itself. Are you denying facts to make a point?
Nowhere did I say, or for the matter is written on archive.org, that anyone can replace a binary from http://example.com with their own.
Straw man argument.
They allow other uploads as well, but that's a separate feature from the wayback machine. As far as I'm concerned, however, the first case it's legitimate, same as, e.g. Google cache
Nobody is discussing the wayback machine feature here.
Had you checked the linked download on archive.org, you would have seen that it is an upload by a user 'wobajk', or maybe you did, and are deliberately missing the point.
Do you know who user 'wobajk' is or where he got is redistributables from? I don't.
Anyway, if you're suggesting a change/discussion of that policy, please start a thread on wine-devel.
Nobody is discussing a change/discussion of a WineHQ policy here.
You may find me stubborn, rude or whatever, but I'm only trying to enforce the already existing rules and policies in the face of people breaking them, and you people nit pick and question that.
I don't know what's wrong with you. Am I somehow undesirable to you? Do you think I'm doing it wrong? You can tell me privately. Remember that these pages are public and my identity is visible. You make your arguments public at your own risk, as I do mine.
There is no matter that I want to discuss with you, but if anyone has something to say to me not related with this bug, there is a button to send me an email. Please, use it.
Regards.
