I hope it makes clear that Flycheck likely won't ever be part of GNU

Emacs, even though my personal motives are omitted.

Please tell me if you find anything missing, or think, that it needs
improvement.

I am well aware of where I am, and I assure you, that I would have
prefered to never have to discuss this topic here.

However, I was invited to this discussion, and asked this particular
question.  I answered it by courtesy, and I do not think that I
deserve blame for an answer which you do not like.

I am glad for your contribution, Sebastian, but it is still troublesome if the code is not GPL. I hope you do not mind me saying that. It is just a matter of fact, nothing personal at all! ;-)

We have had a similar situation with php-mode. A lot of contributors and we could not get every one to sign their contributions. It took me a long time to try to get the people to sign and in the end I simply gave up. My conclusion was that I could have been writing a much php-mode in much less time than I used trying to fix this. However after this I did not find time to do it any more.

And I do not have time to contribute now. Not even to discus, really. ;-)

I write this to you just to tell you that it is not a small problem. My best wishes otherwise, and again thanks for contributing!
