[Libre-silicon-devel] Code of conduct

[David Lanzendörfer]

Haha, and yeah, we all know those kind of people who think they're the
"resistance", and people who speak out against their authoritarian behaviour 
would be "facists"... Which in itself doesn't make any sense anyway...
Also, if every major corporation and even the government agree with you,
it's a good indicator, that you are NOT the resistance.
But I'm not surprised that the EU cooperation went to the Wokémon at
FOSSIs, because you know, you've gotta represent'em all. xD
Another reason why I'm not a fan of government funding, because it's
always tied to some political bull, if someone wants to donate privately
or semi-privately to a project which aims to one day actually produce
semiconductors which do not allow agencies to stick their noses into
our private conversations, in order to check on whether we only use words
from the new revision of the INGSOC dictionary, I'm fine with it, otherwise
I'm ok with not getting parts of the money the governments stole from EU
citizens in the form of taxes. :-)
