0 abstain
2 disapprovals: Simon, Laszlo
Decision: The proposal has been accepted.
Dissenting opinion from Laszlo Nemeth:
– Sharing Simon’s opinion, the policy has not had adequate review by our trustees.
– During the vote period, a serious issue detected by our trustees:
changing our statutes silently. The consequences of which are unforeseeable
without legal examination of the issue, but I am convinced that it could
result in the foundation and LibreOffice losing their FLOSS status.
