Yes. The CLA is only a grant of a very broad copyright *license*; the author retains copyright, there is no copyright assignment going on. The broad copyright license AIUI (& IANAL) does give Fedora the right to relicense, even possibly works that were specifically licensed in contributing. That's one thing we are sloppy about in content, unlike code -- we don't have a LICENSE file for each contribution to make it clear what the license is, etc. The CLA provides a cover, if you don't specify, we'll put it under X license. - Karsten -- Karsten 'quaid' Wade, Community Gardener http://quaid.fedorapeople.org AD0E0C41
