I think the implication of it is that you're acknowledging that you've already submitted a contribution agreement. However, things have been a bit lax and I understand there's more than one patch that has made it into the viewer - since the contribution agreements started - without any actual agreement on file.
Ideally, someone should cross-check all of the contributed patches against the agreements. Sounds like a good job for someone on the legal team. -- Tateru Nino http://dwellonit.taterunino.net/ _______________________________________________ Policies and (un)subscribe information available here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/OpenSource-Dev Please read the policies before posting to keep unmoderated posting privileges
