The vast majority of open source projects don't collect CLAs. Whether this is good or bad I can't comment, since I'm not a lawyer with the background to be authoritative on the subject. Some organizations also offer a "harbor" of sorts to projects that are decently large, but not as large as Apache/Subversion. For example, the Software Freedom Conservancy is such an organization, offering such useful things as the ability to receive donations through them (they have tax-exempt non-profit status). I'm not sure if their services include handling CLAs and other legal issues that might arise with the code. - Dave > > Moti > > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Hosting at Google Code" group.
