Here's what I know about the Dumer situation:
His Web site crashed, causing him to lose a bunch of files,
and become rather upset (naturally).
Shortly thereafter, some mildy negative remarks were made
about VEL on this mailing list. He took those remarks
as a very serious indication that people would never
accept VEL. He was very upset about it and asked
(demanded) that we remove all of his files from the
RDS site, and remove his entry on the "Other Sites" page.
I tried to reason with him. The list server remarks appeared
to me to be very mild. He disagreed. I held off reporting the
situation to this list in the hope that he would calm down
and reconsider the situation. I felt that an announcement
on my part might make it harder for him to return.
You may remember that Dumer quit VEL a few months ago,
and RDS managed to get him to return. We had no luck this
time.

You'll have to read whatever copyright restrictions are
contained in VEL itself. RDS maintains a collection of
over 500 .ZIP files at our Web site.
We graciously accept these files from a wide variety of
people, and we provide them to you free.
We can't be held responsible for
explaining the various legal restrictions that are involved
in using each of those files. Contact the author of the file
if you have concerns.

Several people have said that RDS should build an IDE.
We are prepared to step in and fill that role if it
becomes necessary, but for now we are very happy with
the work that experts such as David Cuny have been doing
in that area. RDS can't do it all. For now we are concentrating
on the core, and encouraging others to add pieces to it.
