@munin@infosec.exchange @remotenemesis@hackers.town the only way to do this such that an agency couldn’t just easily remove the concepts is to use license terms. I see two ways to do that
Make a non-open-source license, restrict use by any org with an anti-DEI stance. This does create some new problems, but is likely to be effective
Make a license that requires any use or distribution (AGPL-style) to include the “STATEMENT_OF_VALUES.md” file, which contains a statement in support of diversity.
I favor (2), because it keeps it open-source. You can’t stop the government from ignoring the license, but you could at least make it so they’d be breaking the law to use it.
