I'm not speaking for you and did not claim to.  I did just what you have 
been doing: left out a lot of words that clarify my intentions.

Oh really?  How you gonna shoot down somebody outside of the US hosting 
a few packages and distributing a version of setup.exe.  Don't threaten 
to do what you cannot do.

Then why didn't you make it more apparent that you were doing so and 
that we could expect to hear more about this in the future?

Your rude comments are not necessary.

However, your comments also apply to yourself.  You pulled a package 
that has been in the distribution for a long time with no legal council, 
so don't insult me by saying that I have no right to make basic 
decisions regarding legal matters.
