A good example of the kind of ridiculous behaviour that causes people to leave the project, and which harms the project. Bureaucratic adherence to some letter or worse a fixated interpretation of some policy, instead of making any attempt to understand the *spirit* of what we're trying to do.
The spirit of what we are trying to do is an irrelevance in this case. It is a question of law. The answer FWIW appears to be that it is an issue of contract law and no we've asked appears to be sure of the answer.
