Hi James,

It's Linux, so no official capacity at all.  However, I am expressing
the views of a number of people I talked to but it's not fair of me to
name them.

Fair enough, I was hoping that it's from Linux Foundation but it's still
good news to me that it do represent some respectful individuals.

How should we handle it?

A big chunk of the reason it's taken so long just to get the above is
that the Lawyers (of which I'm not one) are still discussing the
specifics and will produce a much longer policy document later, so they
don't want to be drawn into questions like this.  However, my non-
legal-advice rule of thumb that I'm applying until I hear otherwise is
not on the SDN list, not a problem.

Thank you for sharing your insights. I'm looking forward to the document.

While I remain quite upset about how things were handled, your message has
helped restore some of my confidence in the community.

I agree with Peter Cai's earlier comment that steps should be taken to address
the harm caused by the initial reckless actions, particularly to those who were
humiliated.

It is also important to put measures in place to prevent such drama from recurring.
A formal procedure for handling urgent compliance requests may be a sensible step
forward.

I hold our community in high regard and would be heartbreaking to see the reputation
of the Linux Kernel undermined in such an unfortunate manner. I would appreciate it
if you could convey those thoughts to the relevant individuals.

world affairs there always will come a time after a conflict. And
people with brains should look forward to such times and how they can
continue to work together then.
