15 In my opinion GLEP 76 is the most controversial decision made by
16 running council. While it fixed some long standing issues like
17 copyright headers and proper acknowledgement of out of the tree
18 contributors, it created grave problems: now some long-time
19 contributors and even developer are seriously discriminated because
20 they want to keep their privacy.

22 What is your opinion on this problem?
23 Should GLEP 76 be left as is?
24 Should GLEP 76 be cancelled?
25 Should GLEP 76 be improved and how?
