you think you might ever consider re-licensing your project, then it's
not a bad idea to consider contribution agreements. They can make the
process to re-license, should you ever decide to, a lot less pain &
effort.<br>
<br>I hope that it isn't lost in the discussion that it really isn't
about a given license winning or dying even if that's interesting to
data junkies like us. It's about the project's goals, and hopefully
reducing friction towards achieving them.<div class="yj6qo ajU"><div id=":1q6" class="ajR" tabindex="0"><img class="ajT" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/images/cleardot.gif"><br></div></div></div></div><br>Andrew<br>
