An Open Letter Regarding SQLite's New Code of Conduct
Good Afternoon, Dr. Hipp,
My name is Zac Adam-MacEwen. I am a freelance developer and security researcher from Eastern Canada. As a python developer, I have relied heavily on your SQLite software, which is the primary database component of that language's standard library.
I am writing you today as regards the project's new code of conduct. While I agree that codes of conduct are highly necessary in this day and age, and recognize that FOSS projects have a mind of their own and often the organization as a whole takes decisions the originators might not have intended.
I do, however, have to register my concern regarding the decision to base the work on Chapter 4 of the Rule of Saint Benedict. While I agree that the Rule contains many important aspects which make an excellent foundation for community life (perhaps why the rule has survived in active use as long as it has), I'm afraid I really must insist that a FOSS project, particularly one with the global reach and usage of SQLite, must necessarily remain
