That made me pull up the Clojure CA and it is worded in terms of
'non-exclusive' so it would seem that a written agreement is not
actually _required_ by US law, at least insofar as the copyright
portion is concerned. The CA also covers patents and some other things
and I'm not inclined to go research that aspect of law.

Frankly, I think more time is spent discussing the pros and cons of
the CA than would actually be spent just filling it in and mailing it
off to Rich... If someone really feels signing and mailing an
agreement is "too much work" then they don't seem very committed to
contributing, IMO. It's really not much of a hardship is it?

My signed CA is on file with Rich so, for me at least, it's a moot point :)
