I'm certain the board and many others discuss things offlist which are
quite important. Lack of transparency isn't always at the disadvantage of
the whole group, but sometimes just a way to handle specific instances
where it's more efficient.

I can's speak for Lattner, but my best guess is it's unlikely that some
hidden agenda or motivation is going on and probably just him being caring
enough to take the 1-on-1 time to make sure your questions are answered.
(Without having to repeat it here again - Assuming it was answered already)

Personally, I love to watch all the armchair lawyers pop up when these
types of discussions happen.

source code + license + open discussion != efficient
