1 - MDR started *WAY* before OpenBeOS. In fact Dr. Zoidberg's original
objective was to start replacing every possible BeOS component.
2 - MDR uses the MIT/BSD license so the licensing thing you mention is
simply not going to happen.
3 - Even if it was not, I am saying that all our code can be used by
OpenBeOS. If you don't think my word is not enough, then see point 2
above. Anyway, my word should be enough.
4 - No one is forcing MDR to be inbcluded with OpenBeOS. We offered it
to help in a more direct way. The option to this is easy, not to
include it. I really don't care either way.
Yeah, I am probably being a bit harsh here, but stuff like this one
really gets me in a bad mood.
