I'm pretty certain  that there are open source projects that manage
without this.  There's an obscure little project called Linux that
only requires knowledge of the code's provenance and compatible
licensing.  In any case don't Oracle own most of the Grid engine code
or is that something else you're going to be announcing?  I think even
the prince of darkness ^W^W^W^W Univa has been know to accept
contributions without copyright assignment.
