acer-boxWhat is worse this this same individual created the 'Contributor Covenant' which was adopted by a large number of open source projects. Very easy to abuse this 'covenant' to bully people with differing opinions (or perhaps attack Torvalds for saying your code is shit) - thankfully, abuse would at least require a large number of the mods in the different projects to allow it to go on. (But it did happen with github, so who knows?)Aug 17 17:50
