Petty is pretty harsh and reading this message I wish I'd paused and chosen a better word.

That said, the way the commit reads, the relicensing, the fact they seem to be upset the aur is locked to the GPL version to comply with the license but also poisoning the build scripts like it's somehow going to affect the old GPL code. It just does not sound like someone acting in good faith with the open source community they're clearly building on top of and that does rub me the wrong way.
