Cleber, I respect your prior work for Audacity, and your opinions on this
matter, though I may not agree.  I am sorry you won't help us this time.

I am not a decision maker about these things.  I am just a messenger.

I do anticipate a revision of the official message will come soon.  I hope
you watch for it and it might change your mind.

About the CLA -- which you don't need to sign, as a translator, but others
might, as programmers -- I just want to clear up a misconception:

It is incorrect (as some have said) that when signing the CLA, one
surrenders ownership of work to Muse.  Careful reading of the CLA shows
that one grants a license to Muse to reuse the code in any way, but not
assignment of copyright.  The license is perpetual, but also
non-exclusive.  The copyright holders may still reuse the work as they
choose in other projects, or grant licenses to other parties to use it.

Paul
