Hi,

a few questions on licensing here, since we're checking 
whether we can sign the corporate CLA.

A comment upfront: I could not easily find the LGPL licensing 
for taverna, Michael had to point me to the release notes. 
A few more LICENSE files throughout the CVS/SVN repositories 
might be a good idea.

1) Taverna is LGPL, and our web player might get the same license.

2) What does 
        2. Grant of Copyright License .... grant to the University ...
           sublicense Your contribution" 
     mean ? Is the distribution/download process sublicensing ?

3) This sublicensing can not change the LGPL license, is that correct ?

4) Why is "selling" part of the "3. Patent License" ? I am incluined 
   to remove that prior to signing.

These are just my points, there might be more when the text 
comes back from our administration.

Yours,
Steffen
