@simsa0 even if you have the right to remove it (i doubt it), i don't think that's fair on the other people who has contributed to it
-
@simsa0 it surprises me that you seem to have had no problem with the faq being used on slc, smuglio etc?
-
@simsa0 but i will of course remove it from the qvitter repo if someone i trust in license/copyright issues tell me i should
-
@hannes2peer @simsa0 I believe you could git cherry-pick the specific commit their content is in, and remove it that way. It's probably a good idea if they do not want it in there anymore. But removing the whole file(s) when other people have contributed to it.

@hannes2peer @simsa0 Er, "But removing the whole file(s) when other people have contributed to it seems pretty grapety."

@hannes2peer for my part, I'm personally ok with the FAQ being removed, for the specific reason: 1) it's rather outdated anyway and deals with no-longer supported features like private groups and hidden accounts, 2) many parts go into too much detail or describe rather obvious things..
So the faq could IMO be removed/replaced with some other faq. However I also agree with your opinion: It can't be right if a contributor to a collaborative GPL-like work can ask to remove all their contributions any time later. This would be like Evan Prodromou or a Linux kernel developer asking to remove all their code lines from a work, 2 years later, after others have continued the work. @simsa0 -
@mcscx2 i agree, we need a better more up to date faq. but i'm worried people will get mad/sad if we suddenly remove it without replacement
-
@hannes2peer you could indeed use q.no's faq. I remember when @tom@s.karp.id.au announced working on it https://social.stormdragon.tk/conversation/96378#notice-100413
Here's the project site https://git.gnu.io/tom/social-doc
@simsa0 -
@mcscx2 it looks nice. i wish i had a higher work capacity now, so i could work on stuff like this.
