Hi Josh, I simply wrote in first person with the intention to catalyse thought about what could and or should and or should not be in such a "covenant". In no way was the email any statement of authority and I had hoped to make that clear, evidently not. Evidently it was not clear enough despite my disclaimer at the top. My sincere apologies for the confusion - such confusion was seriously not wanted by me and I apologise unreservedly. On the topic, I feel it will take a few years yet for "the libre software community" to come to anything approaching a consensus regarding "community covenant"; just my opinion of course.
