"Been there, Done that, Got the T shirt" ;-) I've been personaly legaly threatened even just managing a company's law suit against a Canadian debtor. Learnt: Their game: intimidation, their message: "Our lawyer is richer than your lawyer" I've sued (& won) for debt: Learnt: Even trivial law cases can take Years. I've helped head a club with events with risk to life, Learnt: Insurance! Have you enquired for FreeBSD if the Foundation could afford insurance for key named central staff ? It's something companies that donate might relate to, & if added to Foundation web, might attract extra donations. I've helped run a club that left volunteers in office too long till they felt the club owed them, some got fractious & some burnt out. Learnt: That's why boards of directors have compulsory resignation by rotation. (with option to stand for re-election) The name 'Manager' asserts both authority & responsibility. As portsmgr can't take decisions with risk of responsibility, ... Change portmgr@ to match reality, (port-adm@ maybe ?).

At least then the software has a maintainer. > > Chris OK, if people will repack rather than loosing; though creating replacement ports wrappers with new names will be hastle not only for freebsd.org, but also for FreeBSD users who may have their own overlay trees of eg ports/*/Makefile.local with SUBDIR+= a port. (hastle of variant SUBDIR += needing to be maintained for different uname -r bases for various local hosts). When a generic author causes trouble, trying to unpublish published sources, I suggest FreeBSD insures itself against more trouble by adding a list of people prepared to witness they saw the published sources with attached licence, at which URL, on what date. Witnesses need not be users of a port, nor programmers (so a wider pool). If some witnesses are non users of a port, it may be seen as more independent.

I think it's great that you have thoughts and ideas about this topic. Feel free to put them into practice.

Real managers get paid. Real managers get paid by companies. Real managers get paid by companies with legal departments who will defend them from frivolous lawsuits, and pay them during the period of time while the frivolous lawsuit works its way through the US court system. I have given thousands of hours of free work to this project. I'm damned sure not going to incur any legal liability on top of that, even if due to someone wanting to take an unreasonable position.
