Re: [Chicken-users] Comprehensive documentation rewrite

[Elf]

i didnt say ANYTHING about how anything SHOULD be, at any point. 
brief synopsis: 
leonardo asked about which licence versions were associated with eggs, 
focusing primarily on the gpled eggs in the repo, and asked about how to
obtain information relating to versions where it wasnt obvious.
i responded and said that most currently maintained eggs are bsd, except for
yours.  this was not a criticism, merely a statement of fact.  i then suggested
methods to find which licences were valid for which eggs.

in what way was anyone saying anything about how eggs are contributed, 
requirements of contribution, how anything should be, or any form of
restriction or change to the status quo?
