I think what Jorge's getting at here is that it seems there is no real
compromise at this point - the guidelines were seemingly put there to
satisfy the community and/or Haiku admin team at the time, but were
apparently not meant to be acted upon. My feeling is that they
essentially represent a roadblock - and the likelihood that anyone
would be allowed to pass appears to be low. I would nearly suggest the
entire "promotional cd" guidelines should be simply removed if you
would like to avoid the same confusion and distress in the future.
Maybe at a later time when I have the time and energy, I will dig up
some of the older thread content regarding this topic and we can
re-hash it here on the list again. Almost this exact scenario was
raised, and I can now see that the answer at that time was obviously
not decided upon as I had thought. It certainly interests me as I
currently promote Haiku through various methods, and plan to continue
to promote Haiku more-so in the future.
