I agree that people are free to take code and copy it there. This doesn't mean that we should make it easy for them. Actually, the fact that we have to ask to opt out is an issue in itself. We shouldn't even have to. This should have been opt in from the start. People (maintainers and commiters in this case) shouldn't have to fight to get back what you have taken away from them. > Basically, I don't think that choosing to opt-out is strong enough > message even on ethical grounds. What you're saying is basically that if someone's fight is not worth fighting, we shouldn't let them fight it. -- Alexandre Franke _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
