I don't mean to speak for Nadim here, but I suspect at least some of
his concern stems from the redaction of the endnotes in section 10 of
the document on the Cryptocat wiki[1], which read "Special thanks to
Jacob Appelbaum, Joseph Bonneau, [&c]", to your version[2], which
reads "This document was authored by a number of anonymous
contributors". You were credited, Jake, and it is disingenous and
derailing of you to attempt to claim that Nadim did not credit you or
"think[s] that you own [your] work product."

As the academics among us on this list are well aware, plagiarism is a
serious concern. I personally have seen far too many instances of
plagiarism or likely plagiarism swept under the rug -- including the
one that led me to quit my PhD -- to be comfortable with seeing this
matter "resolved" behind closed doors; I would prefer to see it dealt
with right here where you brought it up by failing to properly credit
Nadim's work.
