cool ! If only we could take a beer together ! But, at least, I hope, this will end up in a nice story and blog posts about opensource software development. We are all humans, mistakes can be made. The project lived a lot actually, and many files has been changed, the "chain" of maintainers made some of them not knowing the others !

This whole exchange being so cordial and positive makes me really happy.

I have an idea.

Why don't you set up a video conference between you, each bring your own beer, and share a toast to the fair-minded way in which this was resolved?

The world needs more endings like this.
