There are a number of ways in which we can handle this, but the first step is to get a list of all those who have had direct commit access to Open For Business. The next list you'll want are contributors whose code is in Open For Business but who never had commit rights. As Justin explain, this can be the most difficult part, but it's not only necessary, it's worth it because it ensures the code is free and clear to be used properly. I'll help with this item in any way I can. And no, we don't need ip-clearance files, we need CLAs. -- jaaron --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
