I don't know about others. Once glibc will change, you can mark all packages for "review by legal". > So, if you want, I'm one of the "Dark Forces". > > WE NEED THE INFORMATION.

The dark forces are those people behind the various (almost daily mushrooming - At least I've lost oversight) committees trying to push volunteering contributors around. Wake up RedHat, FAB, FPB, FPC, FESCo, FMB ...! We are volunteers! You can try to push us - but not for very much longer. My camel's back already is broken, I've significantly reduced my involvement.
