Ben, you seem to have misunderstood the intention of the project. For
whatever reason, you seem to have a personal problem in your relationship
with Sameer, which I think you might want to sort out at some point. You
seem to be seeing conspiracies and lies that I cannot see, other than as
reflections of your own attitude towards Sameer.
You appear to project you problems with Sameer onto C2 as a whole, but you
should remember that C2 consists of a lot more people that just Sameer,
and a most of those people are just as committed as you claim to be to
open source projects.
Anyway, getting back to the project: it is a volunteer project, similar to
the Apache project. Any _individual_ may get involved and contribute code
and other activities, so you would be more than welcome. I'm glad to hear
that you agree that a single project is preferable.
Paul
