There's nothing wrong with utilizing resources.  He straight out tried to steal
SEUL's developers.  A HUGE difference.  Unacceptable!

Not true.  As pointed out in my post.  He had a new group working on,
installation I believe, and never bothered to tell us until they were in the
final stages after a month and he dissolved the "cooperative" effort.

All we've been aware of in Debian is what can be gotten on the users lists and
the web page, nothing more.

We can still use this or anything else we want.
