Sorry about the cliche, but "this is Open Source". The fact that someone who is not satisfied with your package can make their own version of it is a PLUS. Usually people come to their senses after a while and start working together, but the social/political process is often much harder than the technical one.

I agree. There´s nothing to say against making a new package out of an existing one that was written by someone else, but just taking development of the same original package out of the hands of the developer, *that´s* what I think is not a good thing. A new package: No problem. Regards, Markus
