I still hold that a swag shop discussion should not be "tucked in" to a cleanup around the changes at Tideways. We can have multiple updates, each with their own vote. We're not Congress, we don't need Big Beautiful Bills. :-) The scope should be cleaning up the Tideways situation, and clarifying things we've found need clarifying (like reimbursing personal outlays for FIG, which I'm fine with). The rest simply doesn't belong here. It belongs in another thread and another PR, where the other questions raised (licensing, trademarks, etc.) can be discussed properly. --Larry Garfield -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "PHP Framework Interoperability Group" group.
