Does having a problem with 'packagers in general' -- one that I personally
share, although I'll be the first to acknowledge the necessity of package

You're only confirming the validity of his point here by taking offence
from a simple request which should have been anticipated while reading the
license. You quote some random bitch fight on the issue, but
(conveniently?) forget that a simple rename would have been enough to
statisfy his requirements, /as stated in the conversation you quoted/.
