Sounds more reasonable than your other post, but I still hear an overwhelming sense of entitlement.

He is doing more than Microsoft did with VB6, but for free. He did us all a favor by releasing it and spending a tremendous amount of time on it. It is open source, you can do whatever you want with it. The free labor of love he bestowed upon the world is MORE than classy, regardless. PERIOD.

If your neighbor shovels your driveway once, I suggest he is cool for doing it, not uncool if he does not do it next week. Capistrano has saved me personally scores of hours of work. So thank-you Jamis.

Yeah, this neighbor, Jamis, just parked an automated snow blower in your driveway that just sits there and waits for the snow, and when it does snow, it just goes into action and clears the whole thing, and your side walk, and then also cleans up after itself.

Capistrano is one of the greatest parts of Rails development/deployment. Thanks Jamis for ALL of your hard work. I am sorry I didn't say Thank You sooner.
