This repo creates drama where none needs to exist, and so is counterproductive to its stated goal #1

The conversation with the SFC vindicated David's assertions that the tweaks to TES3MP's licence were allowed. While the rest of the OpenMW team feel that he came to the conclusion that you knew what you were saying was incorrect and were only looking to waste time and create a scandal without enough evidence, we've already taken measures to make the impact of the same thing happening again less severe. There's no need for any further action or any more worry about TES3MP licencing or OpenMW project governance.

We'd therefore like to politely request that you either take down the readme, or make significant changes. As it stands, it's unlikely that someone reading it would interpret the gist as someone says some nonsense about licencing, TES3MP developer thought they were a troll so decided to stop them causing drama, drama happened anyway, then the accuser was proven wrong so the whole thing was pointless anyway, and as that's what actually happened, the readme's misleading.

Whether you just made an honest mistake and panicked when you weren't taken as seriously as you felt you should have been, or have been acting in bad faith from the beginning, having this repo with its current readme is exactly what someone acting in bad faith would do, so if you want to be helpful, please get rid of it in some way, shape or form.

To reiterate, as you seem to have modified the readme in response to seeing this issue, you are making libellous claims about OpenMW team members. As we've said, TES3MP has permission to make the licence changes it did because the GPL3 itself grants any fork of any GPL3 project explicit permission to make those changes. There is no need for TES3MP to proceed with changing its licence as the old one was fine all along and the additional terms were there for a reason. It's not retaliation to remove your contributions to TES3MP after you've expressed that you didn't intend to submit them under the licence TES3MP uses - if your assertions about the licence had been correct, that would have been a legal requirement because otherwise your work would be misrepresented as being covered by a licence that it wasn't.
