And I thank you for using such a great license.

I just think it's unfortunate that you don't seem to have understood the 
consequences of using that license.  If you're uncomfortable with people 
other than you making releases of the software, you shouldn't have applied 
that license.

As it is, you're a victim of your success.  You've written code good 
enough that we don't want to give it up.  We want to continue to have it 
in KDE.  If you won't maintain it in KDE, we'll have no choice but to fork 
it.  We're just lucky you chose a license that makes that easy.
