I would not question Daniel Bernstein technical merits.  He undoubtedly does
nice things, with high competence.

For me, it is not a legalistic matter, but rather a question of acceptable
human attitudes, or lack thereof.  People are not so free and do not much
respect themselves, if they accept being bashed or spit on for a few cubes
of free sugar.  Oh, I never had the slightest problem with that maintainer,
but I will always remember how he acted with others.  There are some people
one just does not want in his home, and one should act accordingly.

Besides, we are not so stuck that we cannot consider alternative avenues.
