True. It smells bad in general and my previous slightly sarcastic remark was
out of place. I first heard the news about 3 days ago when no relation to
Hans himself was drawn, but some people picked on the name and a discussion
began about the origins of his wife, some of his life story, names and so
forth (some people in a forum which I read seem to know him pretty well).
There was no admission of anything, so let's give him the benefit of the
doubt. In one article that I read, a quote was noted which went along the
lines of "contributing to Open Source is great, but where I come from, if
you don't have money, you're s**t". This, of course, hasn't got much (or
anything) to do with his relationship with his wife, let alone the family.
It smells bad, but let's not jump to any conclusions. He could be a/the
victim here. That's why I posted nothing to COLA. By the way, Lilo of
Freenode died in an accident yesterday. He was riding his bile.
Best wishes,
Roy
