If you had not heard of it elsewhere the Linux code of conduct was |
8 |
amended. It makes the CoC similar to those of other projects where |
9 |
there are a number of (usually nontechnical) contributors who identify |
10 |
as a champion of social justice. |

The second link is not horrible, but I think is badly formatted. Here |
13 |
is a picture for you: |

The last link is actually very informative. I would recommend reading |
17 |
it. Some contributors have apparently threatened to revoke the license |
18 |
to their code which is now in Linux. |

My personal opinion is that generally these CoC documents do not do |
21 |
what they set out to do. Even without a contributor agreement people |
22 |
can be and are ejected from projects for any reason. However, the |
23 |
particular entourage that follows these CoCs can be harmful for a |
24 |
community due to the regularity they find offense with other people. |
25 |
You find under the "SJW" label people who think a man accused of rape |
26 |
has no legal rights, etc... So CoC violations tend to devolve into |
27 |
witchhunts. |

My personal experience was that I was not really able to go to school |
31 |
because of my gender. I am male. I had female classmates with worse |
32 |
grades than I did that had school completely paid for due to |
33 |
scholarships. If I tried to say this to some people they would blow up |
34 |
in my face because of my race and gender, but would claim they are not |
35 |
racist or sexist. |

It is fine to say not everyone is like that, but trying to divorce a |
38 |
movement from its most vocal subgroups is the |
