You misunderstand the nature of the contributions and of my license.
It is my call alone. The current release doesn't even list all

In any large population, there are some people who aren't very bright. That's not their fault, it's just in their genes. As an engineer, I have a responsibility to design things that won't kill off the slower ones, just as I have a responsibility to design things that won't harm my neighbor's dog.
