> I could provide the tweets of the guy I spoke about, but to what end? To provide credit to your claims, otherwise what you are doing is defamatory. >Sources are: emails between myself, core, and the FreeBSD Foundation. I'm not providing those. A phone call with the FreeBSD Foundation, which I did not record and will not provide. Sadly, none of that is verifiable from an outsider perspective. >Instead, I hope people talk about the issues of harassment and legal shadiness regarding trademark claims. This is the only thing I can claim to have an educated opinion on. Any entity who owns a trademark has the rights to ask you to stop representing their likeness. By using "freebsd" in your name and actively participating in politics surrounding the open source/FreeBSD community, you are representing their likeness and in this case you are not protected by fair use. For example, I can't make a twitter called TacoBellGuy and post about food related politics. If Taco Bell got upset with me, I'd have to change my name. Very clear cut.
