This also refers to an "an intellectual property dispute over QRPedia", which is, of course, bunkum.
Oh, look who else quotes this claim:

I wonder where they got it from.
To clarify: User:Jayen466 is Andreas Kolbe, who is a Wikipedian in good standing. That article is a draft that may or may not be in the Signpost in Monday. Andreas is also an associate of Wikipediocracy, a website that hosts contributions by people I wouldn't willingly be seen dead with. On the other hand Andreas comes to some Cambridge meetups, and is welcome to do so, and I have been in the pub with him afterwards. DG seems to do the "guilt for association" thing to excess, whatever irritation events in 2012 have caused WMUK and its trustees. Steve Virgin and other Board members from 2010 do bear some collective responsibility for the subsequent governance, as far as I'm concerned. I'd rather see some humility from them.
