In every places in the world you have to respect the existing rules and usages or you better have to leave if you don't want to. That does not mean that you can't have an influence on them once you are in. > In some this wouldn't be acceptable at all.

Exactly and I see absolutely nothing that can change my view or opinion on this topic. There is other very large projects out there where major or leading companies contribute, there is no CLA, there is no restriction. In some cases, they are even kept outside as long as they don't want to follow the usages and rules of the given projects. That being said, where are the complains? Who is actually pushing the CLA in? I mean outside Zend and related? Why did they not post something to actually explain their views? Or are they afraid to say that they can't support PHP if there is no CLA? Well, I would be afraid too, especially when I know that I have to support PHP anyway. At least if I want to keep my piece of the web cake .
