The issues of the original copyright policy as approved belonged |
| 14 |
in the specific threads prior to its approval. If you failed to raise |
| 15 |
your voice in those threads, you have only yourself to blame. If you |
| 16 |
expressed it and it wasn't considered justified, then I'm sorry but |
| 17 |
that's all. |

This thread is merely about a specific wording change addressing |
| 20 |
specific issue. If you have anything to add regarding this change or |
| 21 |
the issue in question, please say it. If you don't, then please stop |
| 22 |
hijacking this thread. |

|
| 24 |
If you really believe the wider aspect of pseudonymous developers needs |
| 25 |
being discussed again, please start a separate thread on that topic |
| 26 |
and/or prepare a GLEP update for review. However, please be prepared to |
| 27 |
*justify* your changes with actual arguments and explanation why you |
| 28 |
need to do this rather than expecting us to justify requiring you to |
| 29 |
follow the same rules as everybody else in Gentoo. |
