there is an official policy.. thats whats being argued about.. and it doesnt need legal backing at all... like you rightly ssay, its someone elses ball. if they dont want other ppl to play its their choice
If there's a policy, let's see it, let the policy makers defend their choices.
I was thinking that the policy that has been hinted at (but not set out clearly) might have some legal basis, but more likely it's just a case of "my ball".
There are precedents for tracing activity on the internet to individuals in the event of illegal activity. Requiring a name from a contributor, without further checks of identity, is really a worthless identification. As a maintainer, requiring an individual's name but not checking it could put you in a worse position than accepting pseudonymous contributions.
