I had to sign an agreement when I started. I know because the first one I was given was a very boiler plate agreement that didn't make sense in the open source world. (This was almost 4 years ago.)

Ownership in an open source project implies that the owner can make decisions and decide what is in and out. I thought Mozilla modules were equivalent to open source project maintainers or owners. But if they just have check in authority, and have to get ok from someone else first, I'd argue they a
