I wonder why nobody's complaining about all this traffic on this
non-technical thread on a list that people complained was supposed to
be restricted to technical content. Heck, why was the discussion even
started here? Double standards, as usual?
Common sense.
The list moderators read this list but not fedora-list.

To be honest, I lost intrest in the debate that went on in this list
not because it was asking ethical question but because it devolved
into a group of non-lawyers posting theirs opinions on a legal matter,
all the while comparing writing Free Software to stabbing and shooting
people.
Seems like that's the general feeling of those who demand
silence
about it. Perhaps a separate list named "fedora-truth" or
"fedora-ethics", for this kind of discussion, would make it clear
enough that truth and ethics are not welcome on other lists.
Since fedora-list is a general list, I think it makes perfect sense that
topics that make up a significant amount of its trafic should get
promoted to its own list. I'm sorry you feel otherwise.
