Read OriginalThis article analyzes the controversial 'real name' policies in free software projects like Linux, which require contributors to use their legal names. It explores the legal motivations, such as copyright provenance and liability via the Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO), and contrasts them with the social harm, as these policies can marginalize contributors who are young, have marginalized identities, or face harassment.
