Which unsound general statement? If you are talking about my 
response to Dicebot it was "mirroring" his own arguments to make 
him realize where he was going. Basically outlining the 
consequences of his own rhetorics.

I don't understand this statement. I would not touch a code base 
that is not under PD, Boost, BSD or MIT for very pragmatic 
reasons. Those pragmatic reasons is that I don't want my freedom 
to be tied down.

If the community is trying to undermine the license through what 
might be described as "verbal abuse", then the license is put in 
doubt. I can then not assume that the next version will be 
released under the same license. That makes the source code less 
attractive. This is what Dicebot achieves. The question is, is 
this what the original authored wanted? And why should Dicebot 
have the privilege to undermine the license? This is a trust 
issue.

Look up the word "shunning".

I don't know what you are talking about. The license grants your 
freedoms. If a third party try to restrict that freedom using 
threats or verbal abuse then they are doing something wrong. This 
ought to be obvious.

I am still perplexed by the whole "valued member" rhetorical 
element Dicebot uses. He seems to place an unusual emphasis on 
the need to evaluate other people. I'd frankly suggest he deal 
with those issues somewhere else.
