Thankyou for your insults and innuendo. If this is how you regularly
express yourself to humans I can see why you are not getting very far
in your end of the discussion. I think everyone who has responded is
quite versed in packages. However, your argument was not about that..
your phrasing was about stealing your intellectual property.

Did Red Hat not do what is proper packaging, yes clearly.

Did they have to? I do not see anything in the MIT or Fedora CLA that
says they needed to do so. And so the breakdown is that there are not
clearly documented processes on that part of the transaction into the
black-box.
