Thank you Hermann that I should shut up ;) while I'm right regarding to

"Why Fork?
Answer – Because you cannot get the software to meet your needs any
other way.

There are different reasons that this might be the case. If the core
developers, who have write-access to the source code, don’t accept your
features or patches. If the core developers reject use cases or a
direction that community members want."

Fons called others simple-minded if they don't respect his intention,
while Maurizio M. Gavioli is sorry and not aware about offending the
GPL:
https://github.com/mgavioli/oscAeolus/issues/1

So you expect that Maurizio M. Gavioli should talk to Fons, after being
called simple-minded?

It's a shame and it should be forwarded to the FSF or Fons simply should
stop contributing GPL'ed software.
