I don't have much time to explain this right this minute, but don't want to |
| 2 |
hold this back from trustees being able to read and ponder it. This is the |
| 3 |
agreement 2 FAQs that were given to Kurt and I by our legal counsel last |
| 4 |
week, and we discussed this at length for a couple of hours. We need to |
| 5 |
discuss if this is something we would like for our devs, and if so pitch it |
| 6 |
to them later with the help (in terms of QA on a mailing list) with our |
| 7 |
counsel. |

fyi, the agreement is a shortened, human-readable version of the actual |
| 10 |
legaleze agreement. The agreement covers international issues in that in |
| 11 |
case the jurisdiction does not recognize such a dual copyright, the signer |
| 12 |
grants an irrevocable license to use the code, etc. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
the faq is 2-part: one for the developer side and one for the trustee side. |
| 15 |
Brian put a lot of work into this, and I think covers a lot of bases. |

I'll send a note explaining more later (feel free to chime in, Kurt).. |
