[Foundation-l] Texas Instruments signing key controversy

[Techman224]

Unfortunately, the WMF got involved the moment when they removed the keys, also the DMCA notice (or any other notice)
is given to the person or organization that runs the website. It is not given to the user who posted the content as they can't
remove content after it has been published. Since the WMF got the notice, it is their responsibility to file a counternotice or not.

The Foundation is not the "person" required to send the counter notice, nor do they have the freedom or the obligation to involve themselves in a copyright dispute between TI and another user. It's not their determination to make whether the action is necessary or not.
