Given that the intent is for the FLA/CLA/whateverLA to be completely |
| 9 |
optional, I don't think it makes sense to challenge people if they say |
| 10 |
they don't intend to sign it. Contributors are welcome to sign it, or |
| 11 |
not, and while I think we should explain why it would be a nice thing |
| 12 |
if they could, if they can't or won't that is just fine too and that |
| 13 |
is all there is to it. |

I'll let Greg speak for himself (if he wishes to), but in a past |
| 16 |
thread on this topic he commented that some may not be able to sign |
| 17 |
due to employment obligations. This was one of the reasons we decided |
| 18 |
to go towards making it optional (back when this was first being |
| 19 |
discussed). |

While I also ended up having a few disagreements with him in that |
| 22 |
thread I will acknowledge that Greg is considered a bit of an expert |
| 23 |
in this space (not that he needs endorsement from me). As we |
| 24 |
discussed in IRC I support the changes that were made in this case, |
| 25 |
however. |
