I also objected for the same reasons on the dev list on January 15th: http://markmail.org/message/7listvk74bp2tlcb So I raised legal objections to this change twice, and also expressed a -1 on the change (my right as a committer) until we had legal review on this. David went forward and made the change despite these repeated objections, with no attempt to respond to them. Perhaps he missed the notes? This is not acceptable. Again, in similar circumstances I would not hesitate, not for a second, to do the same.
