Google doing something in China is outside the scope of the CoC. The CoC scope sections says this: "This Code of Conduct applies both within project spaces and in public spaces when an individual is representi= ng the project or its community." Whatever Google is doing in China, it's not happening within the kernel "project spaces". And Google is not an individ= ual representing the kernel project or its community. If there is still doubt about the scope, please suggest a wording change that would ameliorate your concerns, and it can be discussed. -- Tim
