Isn't that what he did? I thought we agreed that Kasper's wish is in no  
way binding whatsoever. I still admire him sharing his faith so openly,  
and call me biased, but I don't think it is extreme or judging in any way.  
He just asks to not use it for anything that opposes the bible. I haven't  
read anything about environmentalists in the bible, so I guess that means  
it's okay. I don't speak for him, but I guess when he says 'extreme  
political propaganda', he simply means political ideas (or any idea, for  
that matter) that contradict the bible in some way, not ideas that are  
labeled 'extreme' in different parts of the world. Make sense? The bible  
as measuring stick.
So again, use it for whatever you want, if you don't like it, don't use  
it. If for some reason TYPO3 dies because nobody wants to use it anymore,  
I guess -from a Christian point of view- it just wasn't meant to. I am  
pretty sure he thought about this whole 'problem' and considered the risk  
of writing what he wrote worth it for some reason.

Please don't generalize. It's sad to see trends like increased legalism  
 from so-called Christians, and much bad has come from many people claiming  
to be Christian. It's easy to label organizations that way, but all the  
Christians I know are far from extremists.
It's like saying Hollywood represents America. Just like Americans who are  
not like that think it's sad 'America' leaves such a poor impression on  
the rest of the world, I think it's sad Christianity has such a bad  
reputation in the rest of the world as well.
