I have a theory that while the university's ethics board may have people on it who are familiar with the myriad of issues surrounding, for instance, biomedical research, they have nobody on it with even the most cursory knowledge of open source software development. And nobody who has even the faintest idea of how critically important the Linux kernel is to global infrastructure.
They should also have people on it who are familiar with psychology research. The issues with this research the types of things psychology research should find.
