For Andrew, it would have been a real problem, so IMO it's better
to be prepared for it and let potential new contributors know that
we can help resolve the issue.
My concern related to a potential situation rather than an existing
situation, fortunately, and was partly based on incomplete information.
For my personal circumstances I've now concluded that if it had become
necessary I think the separation requirements I need to comply with
could be satisfied by:
- using a free GitHub account exclusively for personal activities; and
- using paid GitHub accounts exclusively for any employment related
activities even in the unlikely event I have to cover costs myself.
If the scenario eventuated I would still seek formal advice to validate
this assessment. It is also fortunate that I've not compromised a free
GitHub account by employment related use before reaching these conclusions.
Otherwise, people who potentially have a problem wouldn't even
consider contributing via the new Github workflow, which can't
really be in our interest.
Having clear information about handling conflict of interest situations,
particularly between personal and employment related activities in the
context of both the PSF's contribution requirements and GitHub's ToS
requirements (especially in relation to free accounts), can only be a
help in my view.
All the best,
Andrew.
