Ah, but you have in your own emphasized words, the seeds of the actual explanation that reconciles both your point and that of DC's statement that he personally knows folks who have a greater than 6 month holding length requirement.
The mere fact that the specific wording explains a requirement that such shares must be held AT LEAST 6 months does not necessarily mean that the shares have to be tradable at the 6 month point.
See, I could take a deal that says that I have to hold 2 years and in so doing, I would obviously be holding at least 6 months.
So, the two are not necessarily conflicting, and frankly (IMHO), it looks bad for it to have been asserted that the highlighted words you decided to insert support only the view that the shares have to necessarily be opened up at the six month point.
"At Least 6 months" includes shares issued with a governing agreement that sets the time as greater than 6 months, obviously.
