Kinda love how deep this gets into the whole social contract side of open source. Honestly, it's been a pain figuring out what feels right when folks mix legal rules and personal asks.


Yeah I had no idea that some folks would get so passionate about making changes to a piece of FOSS based on a request on a certain footer-esque documentation page.
