I've brought this up at board meetings in the past. Specific ideas even, and I have not received a very warm welcome. The quickest path? Don't roll our own, and use something like what RackSpace (a multi million dollar company and a large army of lawyers) uses for OpenStack: https://rackspace.echosign.com/public/hostedForm?formid=ABCZR72YX57B Seems pretty cut and dry to me. We should *not* implement our own. There is also: http://code.google.com/legal/individual-cla-v1.0.html So, this is definite fodder for the members meeting this week. I believe we have an actionable path.
