For the whateverth time, it's the project's interpretation of the SC that's important, not mine. I don't believe it's possible to interpret the current SC to allow that policy; but I might be wrong. But just because it is possible to interpret the policy one way, doesn't mean it has to be interpreted that way. If the project were to revert the social contract with the rider that "software" is to include "documentation, firmware, etc" then that would still disallow that policy. If the project doesn't have a clear consensus that a newly reverted SC should be interpreted differently to the current SC (a number of developers certainly claim that the interpretations of the two should be the same, including the project secretary), then the tech ctte will still need to decide the issue on the project's behalf, presumably. I certainly will not. Cheers, aj -- Anthony Towns <aj@humbug.org.au> <http://azure.humbug.org.au/~aj/> Don't assume I speak for anyone but myself.
