correct we don't want any legal discussions here. It will at

Yeah. Until we have an opt-in forum for such topics, the mailing
list remains the only visible forum for contributors. This isn't
great, but it's a reality and puts everyone in an uncomfortable
situation.<br>
<br>
If we don't want to receive such notifications, the only way to
achieve that is a change to the policy to invert the meaning:<br>

Chandler, is that more in line with that you had in mind?<br>
<br>
I don't mind what wording is used in the developer policy as long as
it's consistent with the way we treat newcomers to the project.<br>
