Well, you should have a problem with people talking with authority if
they aren't justifying their arguments, whether they disclose sources
or otherwise. Certainly they can cite arguments made elsewhere
without repeating them, but titles don't convey rightness.
Besides, if we required formal certifications to contribute to Gentoo,
I bet half our developers would be disqualified. We probably have as
many physics majors as CS majors on the rolls from my observations.
As far as I'm aware nobody on this list is a lawyer, and we have
varying levels of professional and informal involvement in
legal/business/compliance activities (serving on boards, dealing with
contracts, working in regulatory/compliance, etc). So, take
everything with a grain of salt.
