Gregory's Server@AdrianVovk again I'm not seeing the chain of evidence in that commit. If I find something that violates a technical spec, then my commitlog would contain a reference to which specific section of which spec says what. Why not have the same level of commit log quality here? Why are we satisfied with "some undisclosed lawyer gave advice to do this" as follow up to an email thread...
@LaF0rge @AdrianVovk At least if the lawyer wasn't allowing them to say it, then at least it could have said that, something like 'Our lawyers are telling us...but aren't allowing us to give details, we're working on it.' type of thing would have been much better.
I disagree with you over the companies/individual thing though - the mailmap translates between addresses, and when working for companies developers normally say - the copyrights they use are normally company not personal.
