I reported him for flamebaiting, so hopefully a mod will step in to stop it before Kahr's thread turns into a full on flamewar.
Well, for now the situation looks calm, and I don't think that reporting cpw was a good decision. There is no baiting wathsoever in its post.
For how much I've gathered he's not evil or anything, and he truly thinks that he's doing the good decision. He just cannot see how his actions can be percieved negatively and forcing by others, like FC.
Also, I must add to my precedent post that if Mojang really wants no base class redistribution, they should ask everyone directly, like sp614x and FC. After all their ToU is pretty unclear, as it says that redistribution of base class is prohibited, but mods distribution is encouraged. This would require an API, an API that they are not making anytime soon, or other methods I'm not totally aware of (like cpw himself says). However it should be made clear by them immediatly if that's the case, because it's not easy for a modder to convert from a system to another.
