Exactly. Which is what the WMF should have done from the beginning. My
question that started this thread was asking what steps had been taken
to get the FSF to allow the WMF to go public with this stuff (or, more
likely, the FSF doing so themselves). It appears no such steps were
taken, which I don't consider in line with the foundation's commitment
to transparency. Obviously, publishing it now after having said they
wouldn't (even if it wasn't in writing) wouldn't be a good idea, but
they should have never said that in the first place unless they
absolutely had to.
