This OSS Watch article discusses CLA's generally and mysql (Sun) and Apache
in particular: http://www.oss-watch.ac.uk/resources/cla.xml

Lead sentence:

"A Contributor Licence Agreement (CLA) is required in order to accept
third party contributions to an open development project"

Based on what I read there, I think we are being less demanding than
most projects that
require CLAs.

BTW, if it is decided we need signed agreements, I will be happy to
collect them at the AMS meeting (or if it is snail-mailed to me)  and scan them
later.
