Your name cannot be disclosed legally? Or is it just undesirable to
be disclosed? I can understand there possibly being an issue with
being a minor with regard to legal contracts, but not being able to
have your name disclosed on a legal basis seems odd to me.

I have no problem with Red Hat knowing my name, nor do my parents, but it would be prefered that this information was not in the public logs, at least not googleable. I am not sure on the legal issues of this.

Can't we have your legal guardian sign the contract taking
responsibility for your actions by doing so, and be willing to
disclose their name in place of yours whenever necessary?

That's why I am asking here.

Thanks,
