Thanks you very much for the acknowledgement.

We noticed that the current agenda item is a little bit Geotk/GeoTools 
specific, while it seems that the topic can be considered more generic. 
May I suggest a rephrasing as below? (with better English than mine):

    Stating if the rights granted to the contributors who signed the
    Copyright Assignment include the right to distribute their own work
    under a different OSI approved license.


Maybe OSGeo considers that it should be a case-by-case question, in 
which case please take into account that the current phrasing works for us.

Regards,

     Martin
