It is a product that we produce for people to use or not use. They get to choose to participate in the mailing lists, the forums, etc. They get to choose to donate money or servers or bandwidth to the project. They do NOT get to tell us what to build, when to build it, how to use donated resources, etc. Just like I don't get to login to your servers and do what I want when you use CentOS. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
