If none are received this week the Trustees are likely to move forward with enacting a policy similar to what was described. This might entail enlisting legal counsel. (The final policy will be circulated for comment first, with the caveat below.) If you have any concerns/objections to the policy which was outlined, which includes a mandatory requirement to sign a contributor license agreement and an option to also sign an assignment-like document based on the FSFe FLA, please speak up this week. While we will of course entertain comments on the final wording of the policy we do not want to have any further debate on the overall direction once we start bringing in lawyers. This is not a good use of our volunteer's time, and possibly even a modest amount of the Foundation's money (obviously we will make every attempt to use the former before the latter). Now is the best time to make any big changes in our approach. In short, speak now (on -nfp) or forever hold your peace... Rich
