OK The thing is, that we've got to make sure in the future, that questions about funding and so can be answered with the code of conduct. In order to be effective, we can not accept money where strings are attached, because we've got to make sure that we stay independent. Especially with my back ground I'd know some folks to ask for funding, but then the independence and trustworthyness of the project would be put into question. Also patents are a no-no. Also we should underline in the COD that the LibreSilicon label must not be used by people to get involved in political activism, and it doesn't matter how well ment it is.
Cheers

Hello David,
I generally agree on it. Not only this is not a political forum, but we have to ensure not to deter present and future members and partners as well. However, care must be taken not to fall over the other side of the horse. As long as it is not prescribed that "program", "utility" and "algorithm" are forbidden and "app" shall be used instead, and we can talk about blacklists and an SPI master device still selects an SPI slave device, it is fine.
Regards,
Ferenc

Hi I've been thinking about how to handle situations in the future like the mailing list recently, and I came to the conclusion that a code of conduct has to be formulated, which states that this project aims to be neutral when it comes to anything beyond manufacturing free and open source silicon, so political debates aren't welcome. If it's ok, I will draft a text on the Mediawiki.
