---------------------------------------

> I'd like to know if there is any connection between the contribution and an

> I'd like to know if the contribution reads on any patents known to the 
> contributor.

We don't require these for other contributions, and I see no need for a higher 
bar here.  The first also isn't clear (What's a "connection"?  Does "used to 
provide a free service that enhances a brand" constitute a connection to a 
product?  And the second is legally hard to determine.
