Hello, In the spirit of Enrico's talk: where does the license ask for your _real_ identity?

Well this is a point I do not agree on, but does it actually matter? The text as quoted says: | Each Contributor must identify itself as the originator of its | Contribution, if any, in a manner that reasonably allows subsequent | Recipients to identify the originator of the Contribution. Besides the fact that I think 'Contributor' is more intended to mean 'company' then 'person' I see no 'real identity' in there. A semi-permanent email address or a website would suffice, in any case you already have to do this for clause 3.A.iv: | iv) states that source code for the Program is available from such | Contributor, and informs licensees how to obtain it in a reasonable manner | on or through a medium customarily used for software exchange. Much like in the GPL. I see no passport verification step here ;-).
