Affiliation is a bit overestimated. He's just the first journalist who
reached out to me (by mail) and covered the news. That's it.

Just in case somebody's curious: the whole "non-DEI" means nothing more
that I'm not doing any DEI things whatsoever. Just welcoming anybody who
likes to work on X11. No need for any speech police that's banning
people for picking a wrong word or not using somebody's personal
pronouns correctly. We're all adult people and know how to get along
with each other gently. That's it.

It's funny to see how Redhat reacts on this by doing exactly that:
banning people without prior notice.
And note: nobody of them never reached out to me about this matter,
not before, not after the ban. But Karol Herbst made fun on twitter
about how much work it was closing all my MRs.

I won't complain, because that gave us (yes, we're already a whole team,
not just me alone) a great publicity. And several distros already picked
up Xlibre, before it's even released yet - there must be something they
really like about it.

I'm curious, too.

OTOH, I actually have no idea, what this foundation is actually for
these days. But that's not my business at all - I just want to write
good code and don't waste my time with politics.
