I'm sorry Paul, we seem to have difficulty in communicating today. You explicitly said that you did not know if there are any implications for you to re-sign, now you're saying that we ought to trust you that you do know the implications. Forgive me if I'm confused. Oh! I think I get it... when you say you prefer to not to ask the question, you mean in the sense of "Don't make me re-sign, and that way I won't have to ask about the implications of re-signing". Is that what you meant? I'm sorry, I truly read it as "I don't know what the implications are, and I don't want to know, but I'll sign". Communication is hard. > And re-signing a CLA *will* involve different > processes for me than a simple continuance of an existing CLA - even > if that CLA is confirmed by the PSF as legally identical to the new > one. That's a very good point, and I hope Mariatta is reading :-) Fortunately, I don't have to worry about re-negotiating a new CLA with an employer. But I imagine a lot of people will be in your same situation. > I can, and will, negotiate that difficulty myself if necessary - > but honestly, it's not really the place of anyone on this list to tell > me what I need to do in order to ensure my compliance with the CLA and > with my employer's policies. Chill out Paul, I'm not your dad and I'm not telling you to clean your room :-) But we are a community, not as close as personal friends, but closer than perfect strangers, and if I see people in my community talking about doing something which may be problematic for them, the kind thing to do is point that out. Sorry if I stepped on your toes by misunderstanding your words. -- Steven _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
