Good. If that is the case, then it will then continue to remain
functional, so everything should be fine.

Who do you think you are to tell me to remove my project ? I am not
your employee or slave (even if previously opted for doing so at my
own choice, not very wisely), and need no one's permission to create
forks. Oh, and of course you want me to agree "not to rework other
people's code without permission", but when it is the other way around
I should shut up ? Sorry, you just proved all my points. If I join
the so called "canonical" development, I just do yet more free work to
people who do not deserve it.

I lost an incredible amount of time and effort, and "gained" only
frustration. I could have started by creating a fork in the very
beginning and get to much of what you have now (less in some areas,
but also more in others due to not having to argue with idiots which
tends to be more time consuming than writing code), and even have that
recognized as my work.

Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
