I'm extremely turned off by anyone threatening legal involvement in an open source project. This wreaks of CSW. Pleb question: is this a legit concern or is this the ord_disrespector crowd raging they aren't getting their way?
In my opinion, the concern is we have a subset A of developers being involved in the defense of a subset B of developers while the same subset A making legal threat to another subset C of developers.
So I think we need a clarification, either it’s not okay to have legal threats among developers, or it’s okay in function of whom is making the threat. Second alternative doesn’t look to fly in terms of ethics and principles, I think.
