Backbone's Terminal component is the original application -- Alex moved it 
there and switched it to team maintenance, just as I did with Preferences and 
TextEdit, and Nicolas Roard never got around to doing with HelpViewer. Being 
the main maintainer of Backbone right now, it seems pretty stupid to me for 
the original software to be called a fork while another modified version is 
claimed as the only successor.

It's particularly troublesome since you knew that I was working on new stuff 
for Backbone (including bug fixes and new features for Terminal) BEFORE you 
guys released your "0.9.5".

THAT is what is leaving a bad taste in my mouth, that you seem to be trying to 
hijack my project intentionally.
