@LaF0rge In regard to the merits of their patches and this whole Linux compliance & complacency fuckup : Ack.

However, your blog sounds like you find it morally problematic to break ties with people based on their choice of employer. Why is that? Why should $community not say: "Your day job stands for something incompatible with our communities values. Hence, you are not welcome here, even though you have merit."

Is that really what you are saying, or am I misunderstanding that part?

@LaF0rge FWIW: I work at Google, so there are plenty of chaos communities that would be happy to use such reasoning against myself ^^\

@ronya I think a peoject/community could of course have such a policy / determination, yes. But then I didn't see any such decision-building or policy with some consensus before this incident. My apologies if I missed it. I also didn't see any reporting on adressing the affected developers.
