Comment on RubyGems Fracture Incident Reportparent

Comments

individual contributers have copyright on the code, and potentially even trademark

They're not the original authors of Rubygems so it's doubtful they have anything more than copyright on the code they contributed.

IIRC the original authors of rubygems are also the original founders of RubyCentral (chad fowler, david a. black, rich kilmer, jim weirich?), so probably the line was blurrier back then.
