Subject: Re: Code of Conduct: Let's revamp it.

The goal is obviously to shatter the gentleman's agreement that upholds 
the opensource community and end opensource as a force within the US and 
commonwealth countries.

And it will likely succeed.

No gratis contributor wants to be told what he can say or what he can do 
"or else we won't let you give us this gift!".

FreeBSD has lost 1/2 its contributors after their woman-worshiping 
service known as the investiture of the CoC.

This will continue until all of OSS is a rotting corpse.
And then maybe some of the disaffected will revoke their license grants 
and bury the effluence.
