Actually, the more I think about it, the more you are correct.
The way BK openlogging works, it exports personal information out of the
EU. This is explicitly prohibited under EU law, unless the owner of that
personal information has explicitly granted that it may be used in that
manner.
Therefore, I'd stronlg advise people in the EU not to use BK's BK_USER/
BK_HOST feature when importing patches.
The following question remains though: peoples names are "personal
information." Personal information falls under the UK data protection
act, which is one implementation of the EU law. This means that unless
Alan has an explicit agreement with every person who has sent him a patch,
he has no right to publish the list of names in his change log, especially
when that information travels leaves the EU.
This is certainly an interesting problem.
