I am curious. If PDO core itself did not have a CLA, what "direct contributions" would you (Microsoft, not you personally) not be able/willing to make that you would be able/willing to make if it were? And is it able or willing? I think that's the question many people still don't have a clear answer to (from any DB vendor, at least that I've seen). -- Larry Garfield AIM: LOLG42 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: 6817012 "If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it." -- Thomas Jefferson -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
