You sound like my wife. "If you don't know why I'm upset, I'm
certainly not going to tell you"
I would love you to explain how it is inappropriate to distribute any
of the stuff I've been distributing... From either a legal or moral
point of view for that matter.
Why is it that you feel it's a bad thing to add stuff in the code that
the mythtv core developers won't endorse or more likely don't have
time to look at?
I just don't get it...
Just like all successful open source project, once they achieve
critical distribution mass, they tend to live a life of their own and
go beyond whatever the original author ever intended.
It's a sign of success.
As for the usefulness of what I distribute, over 11000 people (last
month) disagree with you.
