Is the quote below what pissed him off? He does say that you singled him
out whereas the decision, he says, was made by the entire board of 5
members.

I gather that there's more to it all. Eric is right that the entire board
isn't mentioned as having made the decision, but on the other hand, I
think it's worded quite politely and sincerely.

Bruce's open letter stated: "

    "We also regret to note that that Eric Raymond, with the best of
intentions, jumped a little too fast to embrace the APSL in his enthusiasm
to welcome Apple to our community. He placed the Open Source designation
on a license that wasn't quite ready for that. We invite Eric and other
members of the Free Software community to join us in requesting the few
simple changes to the APSL that we have outlined in this letter."
