I have absolutely no interest in e-mailing Google or anyone else like that and 
I'm not saying that CC'ing them was either right or wrong.

I am interested in contributing code though (although that's not important and 
could just as easily be document writing or whatever) and your attitude is 
off-putting. If someone gets this reaction over writing an e-mail (a pretty 
minor event in the grand scheme of things, surely), it doesn't exactly make 
the development community seem warm and welcoming to people who haven't lived 
and breathed KDE for years.
