One thing that SFLC taught us is that any lawyer will always advice you to have their name signed in blood etc, to make *really* sure that nothing goes wrong. In practice, as long as you can show reasonable intent (and an email should be plenty, if there's forgery going on, that's a different issue), so I think this should be good enough. Keeping the dates in a text file is also convenient. FWIW, Mozilla runs their entire project without a contributor agreement — so we are already way ahead of what most large open source projects do on this front. :) — Alexander ___ Framework-Team mailing list Framework-Team@lists.plone.org http://lists.plone.org/mailman/listinfo/framework-team
