It reads like lawyers and auditors took over RubyCentral.

* Get appointed as paid managers of a non-profit * Get advice from legal * Legal suggests removing long-term maintainers without liability contract the same way people get fired: immediately and instantly, and screw the consequences. "Open-source? Never heard of it. Protect your entity legally" * Instantly follow the advice of the lawyers to the letter.

Well done, well done.

Aim it right at my foot?

Are you sure?!

Well, ok, I'm not a lawyer, but... ok, fine, let's do it!

Mozilla is toast. It basically exists as a tax writeoff for Google at this point, and serves no recognizable purpose beyond that, and maybe nostalgia.

How MBAs aren't synonymous with leeches by this point is the most amazing ongoing PR campaign in history. They do nothing but suck and suck and suck, and they keep sucking, and they will never stop sucking until their host dies, and then they just move on.

Widespread recognition of what you said about MBAs is synonymous with class consciousness, which won't happen.
