These are my opinions and deductions, but I believe them to be accurate. Anonymous developers (gl, BC, and others disenfranchised by the "no anonymous code" rule) are also welcome to create their own Rockbox fork/spinoff/adjunct and contribute their patches there. BC has already done this with his code: <http://homepage.ntlworld.com/cyborgsystems/CS_Main/RockBox/RockBox.htm> The Rockbox documentation page points to BC's site (under External Pages). This indicates a spirit of cooperation and acceptance, just not of code. I know BC joins in a lot of discussion and has good ideas (and apparently good code). Perhaps BC will be willing to accept other anonymous contributor's code and thus be the focal point for anonymous contributions. IMHO Rockbox is _not_ hostile to anonymous developers, however rockbox.org, has a fairly long standing policy about not accepting anonymous contributions (unfortunately not well advertised, hopefully that will be rectified). It's been discussed thoroughly and is very unlikely to change. Please accept this and move on, either with an anonymous contribution Rockbox fork/support site or by keeping your patches to yourself. I am OK with either choice and I believe the Rockbox project is as well. It is the prerogative of the Rockbox.org developers to choose what code to accept. It is anonymous developers' prerogative to not give out their names. If the choice of being anonymous conflicts with Rockbox.org's choice to not accept anonymous contributions, trying to force Rockbox.org change _their_ choice is unreasonable. gvb Received on 2006-03-13 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
