Wrong, if I wanted to violate the license, I could have done so already
and I certainly wouldn't make such a fuss about it.
To remind you the main problem was and is still, that the kernel history
is locked into bk. At this point I'm not really sure, whether all bk user
realize this, as you constantly try to distract them with random
accusation against my person.

That's of course a noble goal, but what if such help is attached to
conditions? Then it might of course happen that such help is rejected,
the question is only where is the problem. For you it's of course clear it
must be the potential receivers fault, looking critically at the
conditions is out of question for you.

Another smoke bomb. You already made it clear, that even if I did that, I
couldn't import the kernel history into it anyway. There are already
possible alternatives, which should be able to store the kernel history as
currently recorded in bk, but we will never know because any attempt to do
so will be constructed as license violation.

I skipped all the insults, which you use to further distract attention
from the actual problem and instead try to descredit me personally. You
must be getting quite desperate to start hitting that low. :(
