You could simply say "our lawyer didn't ok this", and that's perfectly fine. No one is going to argue against that. Your action up until now is also exactly what a hypothetical paid actor would have wanted to see happening -- it's not helping **understanding** but rather only extending argument on what would have been a quick response. Calling everyone "paid actors" don't help. If you have more than 1 minute to waste, I am under my most regularly-used internet handle to respond to you. So has the person who sent the original "revert" patch. Running a quick grep on the other mailing lists and their commits may also have helped answer that. Thanks, Peter.
