The #Monero Project uses Pieter Hintjens' Collective Code Construction Contract rfc.zeromq.org/spec/22/ as the basis of its project/contribution rules. With all respect to my friend Pieter who is sorely missed, I think this C4 contract was written for a different era, and is problematic today.

This clause in particular: "Everyone, without distinction or discrimination, SHALL have an equal right to become a Contributor under the terms of this contract." is harmful, IMO.
