13 I imagine they could ask you the exact same thing. Again, this is a
14 volunteer project.

16 If you don't like how something works, volunteer!

18 I'll let the toolchain maintainers speak for themselves though. From
19 what I'm reading here it sounds like we should be happy to have a
20 toolchain at all. If people want them to do more than they're already
21 doing somebody will have to step up and help them do it.

23 Simply writing a policy and getting the council to approve it won't
24 make the work happen. I'm working on a policy for copyright
25 attribution/assignment/etc and one of my biggest concerns is how easy
26 it will be to comply with. If it isn't easy, then either it won't be
27 obeyed, or work that could otherwise get done won't get done because
28 everybody is spending all their time checking copyright notices. I'd
29 even prefer a suboptimal policy that gets followed to a "perfect" one
30 that gets ignored.
