Not even half of the countries on this planet have laws that are even halfway compatible with each other. Many countries allow Holocaust [1] denial or hate speech [2], both is clearly offending the Arch Linux CoC [3]. What is the boundary of the CoC when it comes to PKGBUILDs rather than discussions? Sports and gambling [4] are indeed not the same as agitation, but when it comes to politics, the CoC already applies to small things that are far from agitation [5], which presumably does not apply to PKGBUILDs, but only to discussions. Infogalactic search was removed from Brave, but the inhuman mindset behind Brave is still the same, not conform with the Arch CoC. By pointing this out on an Arch mailing list I clearly, without doubts offended the CoC. I hope it's ok to mention this conflict after ethics and morality were mentioned as an example now, since IMO ethics and morality aren't clear enough, laws are probably clear enough, but you need to decide which laws should apply. The laws of the EU, the USA, North Korea ...? Clear are broken licenses, trademark rights, but at some point there will always be a few PKGBUILDs that are in a legal grey area. However, ethics and morality are quite unsuitable standards. Laws are a better standard, but keep in mind around 50% of the nations on this planet share a Western worldview, but still have different laws, around 50% share an opposite worldview.
