You must concede that the changes do not suffice to
claim Trinity is not
technically KDE3 any more.
No I do not. Apparently you cannot read English very
well, so I will
explain it simply:
1.) Trinity has a different set of goals than KDE4 or your KDE:KDE3
repository.
2.) We have been reaching those goals through changes to the TDE source code.
3.) TDE has features and bugfixes that are not present in KDE4 or your
KDE:KDE3 repository.
4.) You are not allowed to continue using the KDE trademark while claiming
your product is superior to the latest versions of KDE (KDE version 4.8
IIRC). At the very least this is bad practice; it looks as if you are
attempting to fragment the KDE developer community, and you are causing
ill will between any KDE3 derivative projects and the KDE community. At
worst, it could be considered trademark infringement and subject you to
civil and/or criminal liability.
Where I represented Trinity?
Apparently you wrote a letter to OpenSUSE trying to lump TDE in with your
KDE:KDE3 repository, which the OpenSUSE developers (rightly) rejected as
false.
You are making
baseless accusations here. Either stop this behaviour
immediately or I will ban you from these lists with a public explanation
of both your trolling behavior and the KDE:KDE3 repository's serious
problems.
Then I will puvblicly explain your Trinity's serious problems :-)
Is this supposed to frighten me? I have been dealing with baseless
accusations against the TDE project ever since I founded it over 3 years
ago--yours would be no different.
