For the benefit of you and the community, please note that the OpenLDAP 
Foundation considers this as an open request for those interested in the 
Klockwork report to contact Klockwork for that report.  To the extent that 
Klockwork and any interested party choose to enter into any sort of agreement, 
that agreement is between Klockwork and the interested party.  The OpenLDAP 
Foundation, nor the OpenLDAP Project (an organized activity of the OpenLDAP 
Foundation), would not be a party to that agreement and hence cannot and will 
not be bound by any such agreement.

It must also be noted that the Project requires all contributions (including 
not just source code) to be publicly disclosable.  This is why it won't enter 
into an agreement precluding it from publishing particular contributions, such 
as a report.  It is the contributors responsibility, not the Project's, to only 
contribute materials which are publicly disclosable.  The Project will publish 
any and all contributions (it may choose to delay contributions of certain 
materials (such as "major security issues", but all contributions get published 
in due course).

This note is not intended to dissuade anyone interested in this report from 
seeking access to the report and/or viewing the report.  The note is intended 
to make clear that those seeking access to such reports are acting on their own 
behalf, not on the behalf of the OpenLDAP Foundation or the OpenLDAP Project.

Regards, Kurt
