While the pendantics do have a pendantic point, in practice the mere *cost* of demonstrating that you have standing should bring some reasonableness to any potential proceedings. And judges, as experienced lawyers, are often practical people -- claimants with trivial patches should, and are very likely to, get a fairly short hearing. Mores and community practice matter. So I do what I consider to be positive and socially-responsible: respect and follow the major contributors' desires. cheers, m -- martin.langhoff@xxxxxxxxx martin@xxxxxxxxxx -- Software Architect - OLPC - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
