+1

I had some feeling the last weeks that things where starting to move
in the right direction again but really
not only do I need to give the copyright to the project I also lose
the right to use the software as I like and who
knows that the license will be next and what code will be used for.

Did I miss some discussion somewhere? I just don't believe this!

Thanks for the fixes in 0.5.1 and unless something changes I really
don't see how I can even try to contribute

ATH?
