If the spec is CLAd what will the implementation be? Do you expect a spec needs stronger protection than the code? I'd say it's usually the other way round. On a side-note: It's not only about peer review - without signing the CLA one might still read the code and send reports to the maintainers. But we can't maintain it! This is a major change in the development process, currently everybody with CVS account, which you can get quite easily compared to many other projects, can fix any bugs in every place (ok, Zend/ and TSRMLS/ are a bit limited, but still) and if we decide on a API change, like the recent change with refcounts the required fixes can easily applied. With code, which is bundled and under a CLA everybody who wants to do even simple changes, fixing compile errors, ... is _forced_ to sign it for doing serious work. If the active developers would agree on that (which I don't think will ever happen) then there won't be a problem - but getting it from more or less the outside without prior notification/discussion is plain stupid imo. Rules about the development process have to be set by the developers doing the work, not by companies thinking "They did good work, let's benefit from them." (even if they do some work for that - the main work will still be done by others) johannes -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
