 By itself, this link is inadequate since there is a blank for 'Initial 
 License' with no choices indicated.  So the summary needs a link to an 
 instruction page also.  The form is also a bit confusing since it appears 
 to talk about future contributions but the last line tacked on to the 
 bottom refers to the past.  If it means both, then why not say so in the 
 main text in a way that non-lawyers can understand?

That's the modified version of the form for people like me that have 
contributed stuff before sending the form in (I have one sitting on my desk 
that will be going in the mail real soon now, honest. . .).

There's another page somewhere in the PSF section that talks about contributor 
agreements in general - maybe that would be a better link for the summary?

Cheers,
Nick.

Sounds like it.  (That wasn't anywhere in the thread.)  Does
http://www.python.org/psf/contrib/ seem like the right page to link
to?

Thanks,
