Well, actually I find this very inappropriate. If you have indeed been
reading Kallithea mailing list for some time, you should know that it is
the appropriate way to contact community for all such inquiries.
Instead, you decided to ‘reach out’ to me directly, which makes me doubt
sincerity of your intentions.

This tracking code also doesn’t suggest your intentions are good.

To me, RhodeCode’s license choice, as well as requirement of copyright
assignment which gives RhodeCode right to use contributions for any
purpose and at the same time preventing others from doing the same (or
using it under the GPL), shows RhodeCode has intentioanlly decided to
not make RhodeCode free and open software project.

RhodeCode has made their code incompatible with Kallithea, leaving no
options for collaboration.

P.S. Obviously, all the above is my personal opinion and doesn’t reflect
the position of the project as a whole.
