[ With apologies to Rudyard Kipling. ] It is always a temptation to one skilled in provocation To call someone productive and to say: - "Your project we'll invade, and your mailing-lists brigade, Unless our Code of Conduct you obey." And that's SJW Dane-geld, And the people who ask it explain That you've only to pay 'em the Dane-geld And then you'll get rid of the Dane! It is always a temptation for a rich organisation To puff and look important and to say: - "Though there's no truth to your slight, We don't want to look 'alt-right'. We'll apply your Code so you will go away." And that is called paying the Dane-geld; But we've proved it again and again, That if once you have paid xir the Dane-geld You never get rid of the Dane. It is wrong to put temptation in the path of the Foundation, For fear they should succumb and go astray; So when you are requested to pretend someone's molested, You will find it better policy to say: - "We never pay any-one Dane-geld, No matter how trifling the cost; For the end of that game is oppression and shame, And the kernel that plays it is lost!"
