wouldn't it be possible to just shift maintainer / copyright holder / whatever to a new person that does believe it is legal and is willing to take that risk too.
First, I explicitely told that we knew that the WineX QUARTZ DLL was LGPLed to not have this same debate again...
My whole point is not 'was the previous QUARTZ code legal or not', it's rather 'do we respect the wishes of someone who wants to have his code removed'.
I agree that, as the code was licensed as LPGL, we have no legal reasons to comply to this request, but well, I see it as basic respect regarding his co-developers.
By the way, nobody ever knew *why* Hidenori asked to have his code removed. The fact that it's due to legal issues with the code are only, as far as I know, rumors.
