I've seen the theme of "maintainer of popular open source product is threatened by person who doesn't understand it's just a component" show up a few times, but when I think about it most those times have been related to curl specifically. Maybe it's because of the domain haxx.se? Or maybe Daniel just writes about it a lot? Does this kind of thing happen so regularly to others?
