Exactly. Without a CoC, we have no laws, so the implication is we don't consider any behavior an offense. ________________________________________ From: André Pönitz <apoen...@t-online.de> Sent: Saturday, October 27, 2018 7:25:39 PM To: Martin Smith Cc: Bernhard Lindner; development@qt-project.org Subject: Re: [Development] QUIP 12: Code of Conduct On Sat, Oct 27, 2018 at 01:09:45PM +0000, Martin Smith wrote: > >Well, then let me give you my simple minded opinion on this topic, an > >engineers > >opinion: > >Do not introduce a CoC. > > In that case, if a contributor is mistreated by another contributor, > what recourse does the victim have? File charges with the relevant authorities. Why should "being a contributor" make a difference? Actions that are considered offenses by a society are typically mentioned in its laws. If something is not forbidden by law it usually means that there is no majority, let alone consensus in that society that this action is an offense.
