Well I got, throuhg the websites mailing list, 4 mails, and all of
them are out of context, or better, they are *not* websites related.
If you want to turn the spamming back to me, ok, but this is not
really the case here...

Those addresses of whom I have sent these emails have been private addresses, advertised on your site as the appropriate ones to approach.  In cases where I have cc'd addresses, I did so because they were first cc'd by an individual recipient of the fedora team, who then mass cc'd their colleagues for help.  I simply am mirroring the cultural behavior of "openness and transparency" I've been addressed with.

I don't know if there were any emails before you copied in the
websites ML, if yes I obviously can't be aware of it. I just wanted to
give you the right referral for your legal question, adding that the
topic is not related to the websites team.

> I wish Fedora would be more ethically and socially sensitive on this matter.  There is a good chance you are technically legally covered, but I thought you might have more character than the bare minimum.  I would like to see sensitivity to these issues and for them to be taken seriously.

> Robert, compared to your colleagues, I feel your behavior has been subprofessional and a disappointment, but I wish you the best.  I do believe you are doing your best and have good intentions.

Sure, and I think you also have good intentions and I'm not saying
your request is disappointing. You should simply address your concerns
to the right persons or responsibles (and yes you're right, I'm not
one of them); the websites team can't help you here and you should
better copy this list out in your next emails, unless you want to make
the discussion more public.

Have a nice sunday,
kind regards.
