Can I use Garibaldi-Meuci Museum to retrieve a copy of Jericho Founding from the ash heap?
I guess the broader question is:
Does "non-Camarilla" count as
A) a standalone "non-Camarilla" trait, or
B) a short hand for "Sabbat, Laibon, Anarch, or Independent"?
Ruling on Vidal seems to suggest (A) but Reckless Agitation being a legal target for Garibaldi suggests (B)

Garibaldi card text:
"You can lock this location and burn 1 pool during your unlock phase to exchange one card from your hand for one card in your ash heap requiring an Anarch. You can lock this location before range is determined to end a combat involving an Anarch you control and another Anarch."
Jericho Founding
Requires a non-Camarilla vampire.
Successful referendum means all locations are burned. Any Methuselah can keep any locations he or she controls by repaying their pool cost.
Reckless Agitation
Requires an Independent or Anarch vampire with capacity 5 or more.
Allocate 6 points among two or more other Methuselahs. Successful referendum means each Methuselah burns 1 pool for each point allocated.
Cardtext of reckless specifiy independent or Anarch, so it can be recover with Garibaldi.
Jericho doesn't require an anarch, only non-Camarilla, so it cannot be retrieved
Thanks for the card texts
So the extensive discussion on discord was whether "non-Camarilla" is short hand for "Sabbat, Laibon, Anarch, or Independent"
Reckless Agitation's ruling implies that "requires Anarch" being part of a set of requirements fulfils the criteria for Garibaldi Museum
Mathematically, "non-Camarilla" is a set of requirements that includes "Anarch"
However, we also recognise that there is the argument that, in VtES parlance, "non-Camarilla" is a distinct trait and mathematical logic may not apply
This interpretation arose from LSJ 20081120-1 but LSJ also explicitly mentioned in that same ruling that this applies to specifically Vidal
I'm really posting this on behalf of the rulings database team to get a RD rules reference we can use to update the rulings database

As far as Vidal is concerned, "non-<trait>" is also a trait (including other forms like "untitled" or "with no title").

Answer: A)
Logically, "requires A or B" does not imply "requires A" in the sense that a B vampire (not A) could still play the cards.
However, it has been ruled that, by design, effects that can retrieve a card "requiring A" work for cards "requiring A or B" (explicitly)
For instance, you can retrieve an Armor of Terra (tha / vis) with a Spirit Summoning Chamber. [LSJ 20020510]

You can also retrieve cards whose requirement derives directly from another. For instance, a card that "requires a baron" can be retrieve by an effect that mentions "requires an Anarch" (as baron implies Anarch).
[LSJ 20081201]
Therefore, Garibaldi-Meucci Museum can be used to retrieve a Reckless Agitation ("requires an Independant or Anarch vampire"), but cannot be used to retrieve a Jericho Founding ("requires a non-Camarilla vampire") because JF doesn't refer explicitly to an Anarch, and non-Camarilla vampire does not imply Anarch.
