That's a dick move because you are opening up an open source project to claims of infringement without recourse.

Why on earth would you force stuff on a party that has said they don't want that?

Sure, but back in reality no you’re not? No more than any other contributor?

If I want to use an auto-complete then I can, and I will? Restricting that is as regressive as a project trying to specify that I write code from a specific country or… standing on my head.

Sure, if they want me to add a “I’m writing this standing on my head” message in the PR then I will… but I’m not.
