12 Sorry, I was referring to the bit about "sexual language and images in
13 public spaces." Would it be against policy for me to demonstrate a
14 hypothetical human anatomy application under the Gentoo banner at a
15 medical conference?
16
17 A bit contrived - I was just musing about Patrick's comment. Talking
18 about sexuality or images that are debate-ably "sexual" in nature can
19 be done in a completely professional environment. In any case I'm
20 pretty sure the intent of the policy is not to ban such activities.
21
22 It is the whole "I can't define it, but I know it when I see it" business.
23
24 In any case, improvements to the wording are welcome, but at some
25 point we have to understand the intent and trust those who will
26 enforce it accordingly.
