Already GPLv3 infected....

But fun-fact:

>The GCC Steering Committee is committed to providing a friendly, safe and welcoming environment for all, regardless of gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disabilities, neurodiversity, physical appearance, body size, ethnicity, nationality, race, age, religion, or similar personal characteristics.

Sounds like GCC is going to go down the same path as the Gnome Foundation, focusing on pursuing a political agenda at the expense of developing quality software.

Ah yes, because welcoming all regardless of irrelevant background details precludes quality software.

Amazing that you don't understand that GCC and Gnome are profoundly political organizations.

I think it’s interesting to see this list get longer year by year. It’s good to have an ideal of welcoming, but curious to me what particular characteristics are “list worthy.”

It reminds me when those people raise their hand in a talk and say “what about security” and aren’t happy until you add the word “security.” Comically, even if nothing in the content is changed. Just adding the word makes them happy and I found it interesting that they didn’t actually assess whether the project was secure and obviously nothing changed except for a label so it was unusual to me that they would be happy since the security posture didn’t change at all.

All minus one, apparently.

"Welcome" the world and actually being welcoming have no correlation with one another anymore. The more "tolerant" an organization or human claims itself to be, the less to they often are in practice.
