> arent't you overdoing a little?

Maybe, but when I'm told a policy change is just an "administrative
change" I need to ask questions.

I agree, it would be a lot to vote on all the things that we could, but
Brian's actions seem somewhat overbearing.

With the website revamp, I took the lead and then tried to include
everyone and please as many as possible, including doing things I didn't
agree with, there was a flow, back and forth of will and change.

With the license, it seems there was some debate then the word from on
high. Maybe I have this wrong, in which case I will wind my neck in and
shut up.

> Exactly the reason why I emailed the pending change.

Can you really expect all the membership to be aware of your changes in
such a short time? And why do you say you 'will' remove the content if
they don't like the new license? Why not as I have said several times
now, simply let people license their work as they see fit, or at least
let current work stay under the license it was published under should
the author wish?

I know that in reality, no one will come up and say they have a problem
with their work having a change of license, but the point I am making
still stands I believe.

I simply feel the process is unclear and arbitrary. I feel my openness
and attempted inclusion (regarding the latest website revamp) is wasted
when just one person can just make an executive decision.

Peter
