 compliance requirements.

No, no, no. Nuh, uh.

Greg has unfortunately decided to respond in private over a matter that 
by no means should be glossed over. Here below is our conversation:

Request declined. Your response is now public knowledge (and hey, if 
this is not by your will, my apologies). Again, this matter requires 
public response.

Sorry, but that's not how this is allowed to work.  Please contact your
company lawyers if you have any questions about this.  And this only
affects maintainers, as you aren't listed in the MAINTAINERS file, there
should not be any issue, but again, contact your company if you have any
questions as they know what is going on.

Just *wink* if you were compelled into this.
