My response was directed at the questions Molly had posed, namely
whether (1) contributors should be defended against third-party
copyright claims or (2) whether contributors should be offered
financial assistance when pursuing harassment claims in court.
Both topics are of broad public interest. As project leader, I would
seek to represent the will of the people, i.e. the members.
Kind regards,
Felix Lechner
