My attorney and I disagree with you on both points. By the way, does any other participant *have* legal advice, or is everyone else just making things up and speculating like Sneddon is doing here? I'm rather certain from reading that the latter is true, and that is precisely why I argued that the legal reasons were insufficiently understood to justify any action. > which sucks (actually, you can in a > few countries, like Scotland, which have legally binding verbal > contracts, but they are few and far between). Your writing makes clear you are an aspiring lawyer, but I fear your law school is a very poor one. As technical and practical point, I've provided patches to Apache projects without signing a CLA. The size of the patch and the PMC of the given project will be the determining factors. -Josh --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/habari-dev -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
