See the thread title. Currently
manager can order all their employees
to sign up for OSMF, publicly order them to
vote some way and we would be unable to
do anything about this.

We would be also unable to do anything
if info about this would be leaked.

Are you aware that we already had 
suspicious mass signups from a specific
company?

Are you aware about coordinated and
repeated schemas to manipulate 
Wikipedia articles, Amazon ratings,
Facebook groups and organizations
of various importance (including
as minor as "internet forum")?

Referring then by actual lawyer would
be likely a good idea.

But consultations how to keep
database protection rights are already happening anyway, right?
