7 I don't see GLEP 76 being cancelled. I personally do *not* share your
8 privacy concerns and really believe that this was a necessary, long
9 overdue, change.
10
11 But my opinion doesn't matter. What I want to say: My opinion has the
12 same value as your opinion or the opinion of any other developer.
13
14 And from that POV, you have to acknowledge that nobody really raised
15 such a concern. The truth is, only 1 active developer is really affected
16 by this change (at least just one developer expressed problems and
17 stopped contributing since then). But this wasn't a council-only
18 decision. When this was discussed on mailing list, everyone should have
19 known the consequences. In other words: Most people in Gentoo agreed
20 that we have to address copyright and we don't do anything crazy in
21 comparison to Fedora/Redhat, Arch Linux or Debian. Wrong?
22
23 If you or anyone else have an idea how GLEP 76 could be improved please
24 share! That's not special about GLEP 76, that's valid for anything in
25 Gentoo. We all are Gentoo. And if there's a problem which could be
26 solved or something which could be improved, raise your voice so we can
27 become better -- together.
