Considering that there are a couple of responses and the fact that you guys are so easily offended, I will not answer everyone but just state couple of theses.
0. I will not reveal my real name, because I value privacy. Nickname is sufficient for identification purposes. Any other information (real name, address, etc.) is not needed for actually contributing code. Think of principle of least privilege. 1. I could easily make up some human-looking name (Satoshi Nakamoto anyone?), but will not do it out of principle (see #0). 2. Knowing contributor's "real" name would not guard you against any possible malicious actions from him, because it can't be verified (see #1). One can also make up address, and even signature, if needed, and I bet no one would spot it. 3. I don't buy argument about requirements of some organizations. Linux kernel is used in billions of devices and by countless organizations, and I highly doubt that contributing to Linux requires anything like singing an agreement or whatever. 4. Even in paid services checking a checkbox is usually sufficient for accepting any license/ToS. 5. My intentions are mostly of pragmatic nature. To make things that I use (and that can be useful to Pharo users) be in upstream. 6. I don't care whether you drink beer, your political views, or your interpersonal relationships (however story with Benjamin shows that perhaps everything's not as great as you paint it). These are all irrelevant to Pharo development, from my point of view at least. 7. If you don't agree with my arguments and stick to your rules, go for it. I'm in no position to tell you what's the right thing to do. I'll just end this discussion and leave. -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/License-agreement-are-you-kidding-me-tp4865853p4865912.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Developers mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
