I can't speak for Rob, but I can tell you what it was for, spamming.

That you felt the need to send this email about what is essentially a 
private matter to 600+ people kinda makes my point.

Covering your wiki page in spam keywords sure doesn't help your case 
that you aren't a spammer, looking to abuse linden resources for your 
own ends, in any way possible.

SVC-1581 was closed "won't fix" by the reporter originally.  If a 
reporter withdraws an issue it's generally left dead, as a matter of 
procedure.

It's important to note we were just discussing today (at the open source 
meeting) the ability for creators to give more detailed licenses rather 
than the basic permissions we have today.  The discussion on licenses 
and IP isn't ending just because that particular issue and approach was 
a non-starter.

It doesn't matter who proposes it, if it's a flawed technical solution 
to a legal and social problem that will do nothing but hinder legitimate 
use, many people will oppose it.
