  You DO NOT represent the GNOME project ! WTF do you imagine ???

Either you're trolling, in which case it's not fun, or if you did
this I think you need to:
  1/ send a retraction mail immediately to the address you targetted
  2/ send an apology to the project which you mis represented

  I am part of the GNOME project, I am totally against negociating
for patents access in a limited frame like the GNOME project, you do
not represent me, if you did this you just pissed me off seriously :-(

  Get a clue !!!
