In the absence of a license agreement, the contribution is usually owned by the submitter and not the project (copyright, see Berne convention). This doesn't scale very well. A signed CLA allows the project to demonstrate that the submitter has agreed to transfer ownership of the contribution to the project('s administrators). I wouldn't want a copyright-assignment system (since that allows the project to re-license when it wants, for example) but an inbound=outbound agreement (that is, an explicit agreement from contributors to have their contributions released under the license of the project) is not an unreasonable thing to do. -- Stephen Paul Weber, @singpolyma See http://singpolyma.net for how I prefer to be contacted edition right joseph
