@LaF0rge the problem with your analysis is that while we may understand how a community works, the Treasury (sanctions enforcer) doesn't. It operates on the assumption that employees always act at the direction of their employer, and that every organization behaves like a corporation.
-
@jejb well, then it seems there is a need for discussion/education/explanation. I presume that is underway in parallel. Still, it doesn't explain the "style", lack of commitlog details, ... also Linus' response?!? - I really do not think [and could not have imagined] this is how Linux kernel co-maintainers treat each other. I'm no longer involved, so I didn't want to weigh in on lkml. But if I see something that just feels so utterly wrong on all levels, I had to express it in some way elsewhere
-
@jejb it's something the current community of Linux kernel maintainers has to figure out. If they are fine with that way/style of implementing something like this, so be it. I was literally emotionally devastated for two days by it *despite* being more than a decade away from kernel work. You can ask my wife in Tokyo in two days, I'm not kidding

@LaF0rge I tried to begin the explanation here
https://lore.kernel.org/all/e7d548a7fc[email protected]/
But I'm a bit hamstrung because the legal document isn't yet public
-
@LaF0rge hey, if you're going to the compliance summit that's great news! see you soon.
