Yeah, you should have heard him four years or so ago suggesting that
due to the ncurses license he would be able to deny Thomas Dickey
ownership of his own code when Thomas (who had been doing all
significant development on ncurses for a year or more) attempted to
make his own release of ncurses (4.1, as I recall).

Fortunately all parties agreed to the code being assigned to the FSF,
getting ESR out owning a critical-path library.
