You care about legal ownership because it's your job to do so. I care 
about helping people and shipping code because that's my job. The only 
thing I feel like I am confused about is why the ZF is asking me to 
make a change when the action-that-matters was taken months ago by 
someone else? Why are you making an example out of me? Shouldn't you 
instead address the "real" issue (which is that Jim moved Buildout)?


The code is still there in the previous revision. I didn't maliciously 
destroy anything. Why does the ZF feel so strongly about the issue that 
they need to ask me to revert an innocous, nothing-but-well-intentioned 
change?


Have we not lost our way a bit, if this is the case? What good is the 
legal protection of our software, if we are just sitting around 
fighting about it, instead of building the software?


Sorry, Jens, I don't mean to accuse you or Tres in any way. I just 
don't understand this situation -at-all- and I don't understand why the 
"right" thing to do in this case is to focus all this attention on my 
trivial commit, which obviously alerted you to a situation that had 
already begun months ago, without me.
