<p>Nicholas,</p>
<p><br>
There are a number of points here:<br>
<br>
1. One of the OSGeo incubation criteria is that we ensure that all
contributions to OSGeo are available via our Open Licenses. We
achieve that by ensuring that every person who contributes to
OSGeo writes a public statement saying they agree with our open
license, as per:<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeolive/wiki/Source_code">https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeolive/wiki/Source_code</a><br>
</p>
<p>If we are to comply with our OSGeo Incubation obligations, then
we will need to extend this to Translations.<br>
<br>
How can we ensure that anyone contributing to Transifex is ok with
our open license? Can we get them to send the same email before we
give them access? (I think we are ok if people use an alias or git
id instead of their real name. One of our contributors is called
wildintellect, and I don't know what his/her real name is).</p>
<p>The importance of ensuring license compliance is because lack of
license compliance can become a barrier to entry for corporations
who are scared of being sued if they use Open Source.</p>
<p>2. If someone contributes to our project, it is the right thing
for us to acknowledge them.</p>
<p>3. A good measure of OSGeoLive's success is to quote the number
of people who have contributed. Ie, it is good for us to track
number of contributors.<br>
<br>
So I suggest:<br>
* Update to note that to contribute, we will be expecting to have
your permission if we are to use your translations. You can see
email conversation last time we were retrospectively chasing down
agreements from people for their Open Source contributions here:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/osgeolive/2011-July/thread.html">https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/osgeolive/2011-July/thread.html</a>
. In particular:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/osgeolive/2011-July/003686.html">https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/osgeolive/2011-July/003686.html</a></p>
<p>* We could be creative in the way that we confirm commitment to
Open licenses.</p>
<p>** Maybe insert a prominent statement in our translation page
(ideally next to the [submit] button) saying "by submitting are
are agreeing to make your content available via our open license
policy" and link to our open policy page.</p>
<p>** Request people add their name to our list of contributors page
(not sure how we do that, but we can work out details later)</p>
<p>Cheers, Cameron<br>

<div dir="ltr">Hi all,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I asked for a review of an announcement [1] for our
contributors and translators regarding the new
European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
[2].</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It was not straightforward as I thought and it
became a debate.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>My mistake was not to publish the link to the draft
here, as I wanted to avoid mails here about "Fix that,
add this, ..."<br clear="all">
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I was wrong, so please next time, tell me to
bring it to the public mailing list.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The debate is not settled and was already bring
it there. We just released 12.0 so I think we can
discuss it now and have clear policies.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
Best, </div>
