Be careful about applying the word "should" to legal issues. I'm inclined to just trust Rich and Clojure/core regarding what is legally acceptable until I've done a similar amount of legal research myself (which will probably never happen). Also, anyone who wants to improve the patch process should first have enough experience with it to understand what, if anything, is wrong with it. If the patch process were a significant inconvenience, I would expect to see the issue raised on the clojure-dev mailing list by people who have actually been through that process. Instead, it seems that the issue is raised only by people who haven't actually tried it. As for the need to physically mail a CA... I wish to contribute to Clojure, and I was willing to spend a lot more than two hours on making it happen (related to my employer's intellectual property policy). I can certainly understand if some potential contributors aren't willing to spend two hours hiking in the snow, after waiting for good weather of course. On the other hand, it seems like much more time than that is spent discussing this issue on a mailing list. Why not just send the letter and get it over with? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
