To sum up, Arch users :
1) have a inconsitent behavior
2)  troll
3) are not serious.

And you are not happy to discuss things with them.
Why don't you just stay away from this list then ?
That way, everyone would be happy.

Every time, you come here, it results in a thread with 100+ useless mails.

Well people, you know what to do.
First, STOP talking to Joerg.
Then, if you want to do something about it, just go ahead and talk
with these people Joerg kindly mentioned.
Ask them whether they agree or disagree with Eben's interpretation
that GPL compliance on mkisofs is broken :

Anything else you do (by trying to talk directly to Joerg) is
completely useless.
