i don't deal with the bureacracy. code is there, anybody can take it and use it for whatever as long as they respect the license. this includes backporting to mainline. i was part of the project for ten years, so it's not that i don't want to share my code, i wrote shitload of the code that churns through your pipes... however, the project has rotted and turned into something i don't want to be part of, eaten up by its own bureaucratic procedures and fear of change. it has been better lately but i'm in no way convinced it is cured.
