Nevertheless, all contributions at this point in time are covered by the CLA, and we possess the capacity to re-license them as we (Fedora/Red Hat) see fit. Some people are uncomfortable with that, which is why I have been looking at ways where we may be able to resolve that issue and limit that power without un-necessarily tying our hands. In addition, for a variety of reasons, many people will be unable to sign the CLA, and I was hoping to find ways to permit them to contribute small changes which are not of themselves significant enough to be copyrightable. This may be impossible though, so I might end up having to settle for rewording the CLA so that we have the power to use unlicensed contributions under the terms of a predefined Free license, or a later Free license of Fedora/Red Hat's choosing. ~spot -- fedora-docs-list mailing list fedora-docs-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-docs-list
