Why can't TDF just add a simple, one-liner to its license stating that any contributions automatically grant a co-copyright to TDF? Of course, this would have to be made crystal clear to any contributors prior to accepting their code, but I don't see why a specific signed document would be necessary - I don't have to sign anything for an EULA to be binding. -- Best regards, Charles -- Unsubscribe instructions: Email to [email protected] Posting guidelines: http://netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html Archive: http://www.documentfoundation.org/lists/discuss/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived ***
