    Sorry, heres a badly written summary:
    A bunch of SWJs somehow got linus torvald (and alot of other higher ups) to sign off on a new code of conduct (the Contributers Covenant) that basically targets white male programmers (which linus himself apologized for 30 minutes after signing).

    Its funny because after the CoC was signed memebers of the SWJ group that pushed it forward started attacking the kernel devs, that didn't want to sign it, on twitter,
    which is literally against the new CoC that they pushed for....


    Whats more is that the creator of the Contributor Covenant (who is also part of the SJW group) have had an incident in the past where
    because a guy posted something, she didn't like about trans people, on twitter,
    she went to the company where he worked at and pitched the Contirbuter Covenant which they agreed to implement
    but then after they implemented it, she changed it to explicitly target the guy so that hey would get fired (luckily the company revoked it and made their own CoC after they found out - but it just goes to show how this new CoC is only there to attack people that the SWJ community doens't like)

    And then someone found out (or maybe its been known for a while, not sure) that anything released under the GPL ver. 2 license is legally allowed to rescind its license
    so now because of this CoC thing, a bunch of kernel developers are threatening to pull their code from the linux kernel

    heres the article: https://lulz.com/linux-devs-threaten...troversy-1252/

    OT: God fucking damnit. Even I don't agree with this.

    Edit: It should be noted that Linus did not send the apology out with any relevance to him signing the CoC. He sent that message out because he felt he had hurt some people on a personal level with past attacks, so he wanted to right those wrongs.

    It's a bit of a slippery slope, and Linus is too nice of a person to realize that this CoC is likely going to be used maliciously. Not to mention I believe the person who came u with the CoC actually verbally attacked a current maintainer and slandered him. This CoC and the Oracle vs Google lawsuit does have me a bit concerned for the future of Linux which was otherwise looking extremely bright.

    Not too sure about that, it's at 0 . It would have to go minus to even be remotely close to his IQ.

    not even remotely relevant? like, by any possible measure of relevance - if you're incorrectly relating google's re-implementation of the Java API with linux's implementation of the posix API then you clearly don't understand either posix or the actual outcome of google v oracle, not sure which (maybe both)

    You don't agree with requiring contributors to behave professionally and not engage in harassment?

    No, some random (wrong) person _claimed_ you could "rescind" a license. Which is so obviously incorrect that anyone who deems it realistic should have their lips sewn together (can't wait to release some of my stuff into the public domain and sue Disney for using it for those big bucks)

    That "article" is clearly written by someone who doesn't know what they're talking about, just like your post

    Obviously, no one's for harassment but that's not the problem. It's where do you draw the line of harassment, if harassment is self-defined then some giving constructive criticism could be defined as harassment. The problem from what I can see is with who is making the definitions. I'm not in the loop with this specific topic but the issues I see in general come when the CoC is used maliciously to discriminate or boycott whoever they choose and where work places are forced to hire based on diversity and race rather than competence.

    fallacious argument, can apply such logic to almost anything. You also don't need to (be able to) explicitly declare what is or isn't to rule about it - you just need someone (or some group) to interpret it. Which is why we have juries

    Quote Originally Posted by Greg View Post

    clearly it's not; it's defined by whoever sits on the ruling committee (i.e. whoever decides if something is a violation of the code of conduct). Those people have the power to ban a user from the project, as they always have done - all that changes is you're told up front what you might be banned for. Anyone concerned with a lack of definition should be glad that a CoC (or similar) more clearly defines the rules of the community.
