Hi,
This email focus on CCLA issues.
This issues was raised when IGN tried to send their code back to the
OpenLayers project as they have to sign a CCLA [1].
A french public organism can't sign an agreement wrote in english, the fact
that CCLA was assigned to MetaCarta is also a problem.
We know that IGN signed an agreement with Autodesk to allow Autodesk to share
some free data (free as a free beer). The agreement was in english, but it
seems there is a french translation/localisation with a header which said
that the english agreement have to be used as a reference (in a more legal
style).
Paying a localisation of a CCLA seems not a good way, the cost could be too
important, hard and need to do it again for each change of the CCLA.
Do you think paying a localisation of the CCLA is a good way (if IGN pay for
localisation for instance).
Do they OSGeo could provide some CCLA template?
How other project are managing CCLA?
Any tips are welcome,
Best regards,
Y.
