Git and GitLab history are both metadata.

RTEMS as a project has always been release focused. A release contains the 
release notes captured from the GitLab metadata. The release notes are provided 
as HTML, PDF and the original JSON data extracted from GitLab. Users should be 
using releases. 

A release is a collection of 
[sources](https://docs.rtems.org/docs/main/eng/release-process.html#releases) 
as tar files and patches as files. See [6.2 
sources](https://ftp.rtems.org/pub/rtems/releases/6/6.2/sources/). Release are 
now provided as a single tar file. See [6 release tar 
files](https://ftp.rtems.org/pub/rtems/releases/6/tar/). Release tar files have 
published check sums and each release contains check sums for each tar file 
including the RSB and that contains check sums so each piece can be checked. 
There is no git (or any other version control system) history provided.

I am not sure what value there is in software developers discussing the merits 
of legal arguments, complex or not.

Is this a case of square pegs and round holes?
