FreeBSD are at liberty to reject a non FreeBSD outsider who wrote this especially if they were paid to write it, even more so if the paid outsider hopes rules she/he wrote they'd like to see imposed on us. > It seems to me that it would have been better had this CoC > had more outside review and possibly a draft period where the project > asked for community feedback. ** A draft & period for comment should have been mandatory, omiting it suggests arrogance or incompetence. > IMHO it's not too late to go down those > paths but we need to take a deep breath and consider that the intentions > of the CoC are only good; Maybe, or not, See ** above. > that the project should be more welcoming for > everyone. There's nothing wrong with the Foundation sponsoring a CoC, > even if it had flaws. I think legaly Foundation is not answerable to FreeBSD just to the few who founded the foundation. Nothing wrong with FreeBSD rejecting an unwanted gift as incompetent waste of money - if they want. > It likely would need to help sponsor independent > reviews to weed out unneutral language. Whoever sprung this on FreeBSD community without warning should be admonished. FreeBSD Foundation could ask for a refund from the incompetent who wrote it, & Foundation in turn could refund those such as the person who asked "Can I have a refund".
