No, I am not saying that, and I can't see where you got that impression.
I am looking back at evidence for an import being discussed on this list, 
advice offered, and it was thought that the new licence would make it easier.
Now that the evidence is that the new licence will not make it easier and the 
contributor terms will make it impossible, why are some people complaining 
about imports getting in the road of the new licence?
