Under copyright law you are not allowed to stage a public performace against the copyright owners wishes.
Nor are you allowed to make an annotation without the copyright owners wishes.
The copyright owners did not desire a CoC to be added to corpus of their work.
Nor did the copyright owners desire for, using their work as a backdrop, speech of others to be judged and punished: using their Copyrighted work as a cudgel and a lure.
The copyright owners made this explicitly clear earlier in FreeSoftware/Opensource's reign both in written statements, recorded statements, and on video.
They said that anyone was welcome to contribute: they only cared about the quality of the code. This is evidence to their intentions.
They also wrote in their Copyright License that "additional restrictions" not envisioned within the 4 corners of their License: are barred.
The CoC's are a violation, in addition to the reasons previously stated:
1) Because they are a forbidden annotation to the Corpus of the Copyrighted work (additional restrictions are barred, explicitly. Codes of Conduct are indeed additional restrictions (speech restrictions against contributors and current other copyright holders))
2) Because they are a public performance not permitted by the Copyright holders. The act of bringing "racist fascists mysoginist white males" up on "Charges" with the Corpus of Copyrighted work as the backround: is such a public performace of the Work that is barred in explicit terms by the Copyright holders in their "no additional restrictions" clause in the memorandum of the permission they have given others regarding their Work. Additionally evinced by the consistent and concurrent-with-original-publishing of the work that "Anyone" is welcomed to contribute: only the "content of the code" will be evaluated.
The CoC is a Copyright violation for these reasons, and others.
