Hi, thank you Pierre-Louise for starting this constructive collection and discussion and for taking the initiative.

After the SCO-Linux controversies[3] I changed my opinion[4] in many of the proposals. > - The contributor name must be the real name of the natural person > who submit the code > - The contributor email must be a valid email address > - The username of mercurial patch must be in the form: > Name <email> Today, I would strongly vote *yes* for the above proposals. Because it makes the project stronger in case of copyright questions. In my country the copyright of a creation is fixed to the natural persons who act as a creators. IANAL, but AFAIK in Germany the copyright is not transferable to anyone else (§ 29 Abs. 1 UrhG). In other countries like USA it is different, the copyright is transferable even to legal person. I think it is good when the Tryton project is able to identify a natural or legal person as author. Additionally I find we need a sign-off process for contributors to the developer-certificate-of-origin[5], as many other projects do[6].
