I didn't _threaten_ to resign.  I _did_ resign because of that.  That
"maintenance release" was a waste of donations; but, that wasn't why I
resigned.  The SDG is a 501c3, which means that donations are tax-free!
 And that means that the taxpayer is, indirectly, subsidizing the SDG.
For the SDG to award a no-bid contract to one of its board members is a
conflict of interest and, in my opinion, unethical.

That's why I resigned from the board.

Now, I'm just a (particularly vocal ;-) member of the community.
