You obviously feel very strongly about this. The discussion on LinkedIn
was veering off-topic and so I offered to call you and discuss. Many of
the things you are accusing me of are not correct. The LinkedIn forum is
indeed moderated. This is the first time I have ever considered it
appropriate to moderate a discussion.
For the record:

In fact, I have responded to a direct question from you. I have not
mentioned forking at all!

No, I am not saying that at all.

Liam, I cannot see how you can possibly infer that. I know for a fact,
that eCosCentric does not consider eCosPro to be a fork.
If you want to discuss whether eCosPro is a fork of eCos or not in a
public forum, go right ahead. But please don't put words into my mouth.
If you want to discuss why I think it is good to provide a networking
forum for professional users of the free and open source eCos RTOS,
let's arrange to talk.
