1. It's creepy that corporations are having expectations about how volunteer effort to create code that they use for free runs itself (or claims to run itself).

1. It's creepy that corporations are having expectations about how volunteer effort to create code that they use for free runs itself (or claims to run itself). It's generally not even being made for the corporations that are using it - the software is made for everyone to use (and fork) as they see fit.
2. These corporations are not engaging in this behavior spontaneously. They are responding to a legal regime which is increasingly becoming totalitarian.
- cryptonector 4y agoTo be fair this was corporations that actually pay for development of SQLite via the SQLite Consortium.
- lliamander 4y agoThat is fair. It's still creepy - especially given that the project is not open to contributions, and has not (to my knowledge) had any issues with the broader "community" related to the things covered in a code of conduct.
- cryptonector 4y agoD. Richard Hipp handled the situation pretty well in that he got what he wanted and the consortium members didn't get what they wanted.
- lliamander 4y agoHow so? Did he not end up adopting a more standard CoC? I thought he had, but a brief search suggests I may be wrong. If so, then I agree with you that he handled it well.
- cryptonector 4y agoHe adopted a prayer as the CoC.
- lliamander 4y agoOh, it looks like he had adopted the Mozilla CoC, but has since removed that. https://sqlite.org/codeofconduct.html https://sqlite.org/codeofconduct.html I am familiar with the Code of Ethics
