reply about support for the letter will follow soon ...


In the meantime I think it's time to analyse what this iCommons bashing
is all about. I am not a huge fan of iCommons, but neither am I a big
hater of iCommons. I simply didn't have much to do with this entity yet.
However, some people who are in the same situation seem to take a
negativistic stance on anything iCommons does or doesn't. Now why is
that? Could someone explain to me why virtually everything Heather or
iCommons does is scanned for bad aspects only?

We should put aside the impression that not everything between CC and
iCommons is running as intended (it isn't, I know) and focus on the
positive aspects of the work of iCommons. I guess, when CC started out
it was "ask what you can do for CC" instead of "ask what CC can do for
you". Some are not giving iCommons this startup bonus now.

all the best,
John
