Originally posted by Teho View PostIt should be noted that Ohloh.net doesn't work properly with projects that have hundreds of repositories. The reported activity is lower than what it actually is. Also you can still see that the activity in both projects is very similar in terms of commits and number of contributors; it's just that KDE used to be a lot bigger. Also the Gnome in Ohloh.net includes projects like GStreamer, NetworkManager, Clutter, glib, GTK+... so it's hardly compareable to KDE as most of that functionality is provided by Qt.

Why are you dragging this on and on? Is it really so hard to just say "I made a mistake, Qt and Canonical don't require copyright assignment, so bringing it up was completely irrelevant. But I still don't like CLAs."?

Originally posted by RahulSundaram View Postwe have a different perspective on what the core effect is. Agree to disagree there.
Core (n):
2. the central, innermost, or most essential part of anything.
Are you seriously going to argue that the "the central, innermost, or most essential part of" copyright assignment is that you get to change the license? There is nothing even slightly more "central, innermost, or essential"? Like perhaps maybe, assigning copyright? I was just going to let the whole thing slide, but I can't stand it when someone expects people to just "agree to disagree" on basic facts just so they don't have to admit making a mistake.

Originally posted by TheBlackCat View PostYes, you did. Post number 104. No one was talking about copyright assignment before then, especially not the person you were responding to. Copyright assignment has nothing to do with the discussion. It was irrelevant, it was wrong to imply that it was relevant, and you know it.
