Just a thought: maybe this is a sign a clearer message should be placed on the Clojure contributing page. In any case, it can't hurt to be more clear can it?
FYI I've submitted a couple of small patches to this group and read the contributors agreement and the SCA FAQ. After going through this process I was still under the impression it was OK to just submit patches into the public domain. Rich even 'applied' the tiny 'patch'. F.E. Rich makes things perfectly clear: I don't want code from someone unwilling to put their real name on it. and The problems of open source projects that didn't do a good job of provenance, and then wanted to switch or expand license options, are well known. I think 'someone' should seriously think about putting these on the contributors page. There is no way to misinterpret these statements. If these statements (or something similar) are on the contributors page I suspect it's unlikely this issue will ever be revisited. I do not think strong clear statements like this would dissuade anyone from contributing. Btw, I have been trying to track 'someone' down for several decades. If 'anyone' knows who this specific person is please let me know. :) Cheers. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
