I see this and I also see you stating that there exist 'various levels of legal protection'. Maybe we should make those levels more explicit, for:
* contributors (patches)
* committers
* PMC - non-Members
* PMC - Members
* Members
* Directors (VPs et al.)
* Board
Gee - I assume many will be surprised seeing _that_ many categories existing within the Apache community. Also, given the fact committers might receive wide-ranging commmit rights within federations of non-topleveled projects (e.g. the future xml.a.o), I'm convinced there exists several superfluous levels or differences in this classification.
And I saw Sam already mentioning his inclination to be more liberal with this 'Member'-thing on some list/blog (don't know where anymore, information overload ;-)
1 contributors-committers
2 PMC members
3 members
Maybe I'm oversimplifying, but it's simply that 2 and 3 will be protected by Apache, the more if what they do is done following the Apache guidelines and in the interest of Apache.
IE, if you are a member but deliberately commit illegal stuff to CVS and do other things like this, I don't know how much protection you will recieve, but that's IMVHO and Personal opinion.
