Frankly one reason we probably have more volunteers than the Red Cross is
because of the lack of formalities.
As Janet pointed out, the Red Cross has many more volunteers than Mozilla.
Since we're intentionally growing the size of our community to approach the
size of their volunteer base and since we have a range of contribution
opportunities that go beyond coding, I think the Red Cross is a more useful
model for us to be looking at than open source projects.
Yes and no. Most of the contributions to our project need way less legal
framework, IMHO, and actually some of the wording of this contributor
agreement fall into exactly the category of what would make me turn
around and run away if I was only a casual contributor.
If I'd volunteer with the Red Cross, I'd much more receiving for such an
agreement as I'd be quite likely to be working in direct contact with
people the organization interacts with and would be seen by those as a
representative of the organization.
Those assumptions do not hold true for casual contributors to Mozilla.
(And a notion of "this is not transferable" is just bogus when you don't
sign it anyhow, IMHO.)
