maybe a "c-list" amendment to the licence terms?

Like "everyone can freely use and modify this, except the people listed in appendix C, who are specifically prohibited from using any part of this code for any purpose whatsoever".

If you get too shitty at the maintainers, you get added to the C-list, and get to take your shitty attitude somewhere else...

Petty.

  • yeah, I get that. But in any other area of life, if someone is being a complete dick to you, then you can cut them out of your life. Why can't open source maintainer?

    • It’s a bad idea to get into pissing matches with shitty people. It’s bad for your mental health and it makes you look like a child. Ban toxic people from the mailing lists, I am all for that, but stop giving them drama and attention.
