The following is for reference regarding Harmony, a Canonical led project relating to contributor agreements.
Grant http://lwn.net/Articles/450543/ Project Harmony 1.0 and its discontents [Announcements] Posted Jul 7, 2011 12:22 UTC (Thu) by corbet The Harmony Project (an effort to create a standardized set of contributor agreements last covered here[1] in April) has launched version 1.0[2] of its agreements. There is a cute selection tool[3] allowing projects to pick the agreement which best suits their wishes. It's not clear how the agreements have changed since the first public disclosure in April. Harmony remains controversial; see these responses by Bradley Kuhn[4], Richard Fontana[5], and Dave Neary[6]. Quoting Richard: "Despite my admiration, respect and affection for those who have been driving Harmony, I cannot endorse the product of their work. I believe Harmony is unnecessary, confusing, and potentially hazardous to open source and free software development."
