I mean, it can't be that hard to have a [X] I submit this Contribution under the terms of the Apache CLA [X] I submit this Contribution under the terms of the FSF CLA [X] I submit this Contribution under the terms of the Apache License [X] I submit this Contribution under the terms of the GNU GPL [X] I submit this Contribution under the terms of the GNU LGPL [ ] I submit this Contribution under the terms of the MIT License kind of form, similarly a commit template for SVN and a pre-commit hook that requires that kind of info. Then we have 7 different SVN repositories (a master and 6 others for each license), and commits that fall under any particular license get mirrored to the relevant repository. > Lets illustrate with use cases? My name is Joe. I work on Apache Tomcat. I find a problem in the Harmony JDK that causes tomcat to crash. I route around the problem. I send an e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and CC the e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I assume the patch lives under the terms of my existing Apache CLA and will be under the AL. I don't want to think about this stuff. My name is John. I work on GNU Classpath. I change a little bit of the Classpath VM interface. I'm a nice guy so I write patches for half a dozen VMs. I send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and CC the e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I assume the patch lives under the terms of my existing FSF CLA and will be under the GPL+Exception.

He questions whether I should be reading [EMAIL PROTECTED] Help! My name is Kees. I work on KeesVM fulltime (its an embedded product for mobile phones). KeesVM uses GNU Classpath. I am interested in discussing how a VM should use GNU Classpath with the Apache Harmony community, they have a lot to learn from me. I believe all software should be Free, and I only release my software and knowledge under the terms of the GNU GPL. I must say, I get a little tired of marking my emails with NOT A CONTRIBUTION. My name is Leo. I couldn't care less about software licenses. I just want to share code and ideas with people all over the world and not get sued for doing so nor break any laws. - LSD
