[Vladimir V. Kisil]

	Dear Richard,

	I was always admired by the careful and considerate approach of GiNaC
  team to code alterations. It is well justified in complicated systems
  since a single human can easily oversee some important connections and
  unintentionally break functionality.

  Being busy with our various duties we may not have enough time to
  follow all world events in their historic development and may have
  limited resources to analyse evidences as carefully as we try to do
  this in science or coding.

  Being a citizen of Ukraine I am willing to stop casualties of
  peaceful residents and enormous destruction to their life. But I believe this
  requires an appeals not to Russia only. There are many countries
  deeply evolved in this conflict and most of them are only supplying massive
  warfare to fuel it even further. People in Ukraine are suffering because
  THEIR LIVES ARE NOT MATTER to anyone at all. 

  If you wish to raise a voice on this very hot and controversial
  situation you may want to be as careful as you usually do applying a
  patch.

  Best wishes,
  Vladimir

    RK> Hi,

    RK> We've long protested against software patentability on the GiNaC

    RK>   Let's make science, not war!
