We don't need to bother hunting all the contributions in all open-source |
| 6 |
projects to avoid them, as it would be much of a PITA. We can be selective |
| 7 |
and not accept code directly submitted by such users, which would clearly |
| 8 |
state that some developer is "persona non grata" in our project. I think the |
| 9 |
idea is more to prevent somebody that can be technically sound to poison the |
| 10 |
environment with their trolling. |

If the developer wanted to avoid us to use his code from other projects, he |
| 13 |
should think about the licenses used on their submissions. |
