Thanks a lot, but I wasn't really asking for details from Red Hat
insiders. I am mostly asking non-core people for ideas on how to present
this change of policy to people.
Anything legal or business sensitive is probably going to remain a
blackbox communicated from the counsel/project members to the community
in a abrupt manner.
That is understandable.
The project on the whole cannot act on community
consensus on this as compared to the other coding and development issues
since the laws a defy "common sense" in many occasions.
I also understand that.
If you have any
ideas on how to communicate better taking into consideration the legal
(litigation happy industry and region) as well as business concerns, I
am all ears.
I have absolutely no clue. My question is not really about "What
happened?" but about "How do you think we should explain this?" I'm
not
nagging or teasing for more insider information.
