FreeBSD has announced a new LLVM-derived code of conduct.

According to a 2018 survey "35% were dissatisfied with the code of conduct adopted in 2018, 34% were neutral, and 30% were satisfied." So, they held another survey at the start start of June:

Which code of conduct should FreeBSD adopt?

Retain the current code of conduct:

RESULTS

  • 4% favoured keeping the current code of conduct
  • 33% favoured the Go-derived code of conduct
  • 63% favoured the LLVM-derived code of conduct.

Thus, the Core Team, following the preference of a majority of active
FreeBSD developers, adopted the LLVM-derived code of conduct.

    Make it more lines of legal code than the software code in your project. Somewhere in there, sneak in a nursery rhyme. Mary Had a Little Lamb is a favorite. IIRC, there was a famous case of that being sneaked in to a bill at some point.

    Put in a modern lyric so that adoption requires copyright infringement.

    Recursion would be a good tool for this sort of thing. If anyone complains, just tell them they don't really understand recursion.
