Hello, I am interested in learning about and eventually contributing to GNUnet, as I believe that secure and private communication is essential for a free society, and is under constant attack today.
My conviction in these beliefs largely stems from living in an especially non-free society where said attacks are particularly brazen. As a result, it is not safe for me to be seen as associated with this project. I will not be able to contribute unless I can do so anonymously (ie. using a pseudonym that cannot be connected to my real identity). My understanding, from my experience with trying to assign copyright to other GNU projects, is that some kind of legal identification is necessary. Thus, it cannot be done without giving up anonymity. Is my understanding correct? If so, how will this project accomodate cases like mine? I hope GNUnet will be able to accept contributions from those with the most direct incentive to contribute to it. Thank you.
