<pre wrap="">Hi all (+ Bruce, as our incubation mentor),
an issue of interest to us (rasdaman) as well.
Following some google sessions, we have established an approach as follows:
- patches are accepted only via the official website and the resp. form
- and, to allow for submission, the Submitter Agreement must be accepted
- which then is bundled with the patch into a tarball stored in our
patch repository, and will never be deleted.
My understanding (but not my invention) is that this way we can prove
that any code submitted has agreed to the license model.
Q: is this procedure considered adequate by OSGeo?

Peter,
Is agreement to the submitter agreement done via a web click through?

the form is built such that you only can submit it once the agreement
is agreed to.<br>

On the face of it, this sounds like a thorough solution.
