To clarify this as well. This doesn't mean a 'shared' ownership! Usually this wording in an OSS license is used to express that both the projects hosting and managing partner (Red Hat) AS WELL as the original author have _full_ rights on this work (the authors of course only for the part they did). Basically this says: Red Hat gets all rights to use this software, but the original author _remains_ all this rights as well! Otherwise Red Hat could not do _anything_ without first asking _all_ contributors (on the very class) for allowance first ;) So if Pete, Stuart and Jason originally wrote it and agreed to contribute this code, then all is well. Of course, having the ok from Red Hat as well would make things easier - because then we would not need to scan all the files history to check if only iCLA signees have touched it. LieGrue, strub
