Alison,
Thanks for your suggestions.
I have just a couple of questions about this issue...
1) How do we know that the "real name", which the Linux official documentation refers to, should be interpreted in accordance to the document pointed by the second link you provided?
I mean, how can we be sure that the official documentation should be interpreted according to the second link, since it doesn't even cite that document from CNCF?
Can you provide links to documents / LKML's threads that state agreement of our Community about the "relaxed" interpretation by CNCF?
2) It looks that some maintainers (e.g., Greg K-H) still interpret "[] using your real name (sorry, no pseudonyms or anonymous contributions.)" in a "strict" and "common" sense.
Can you remember that Greg refused all patches from "Kloudifold" and why? If not, please take a look at the following two questions / objections from Greg: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-staging/ZCQkPr6t8IOvF6bk@kroah.com/ and https://lore.kernel.org/linux-staging/ZBCjK2BXhfiFooeO@kroah.com/.
It seems that this issue it's not yet settled. Am I overlooking something?
Again thanks,
Fabio
