[Gdal-dev] Contributor Agreement

[Frank Warmerdam]

GDAL Contributors,

As part of the formalization process in GDAL joining OSGeo, it is anticipated
that all committers for OSGeo projects, including GDAL, will need to sign
a "contributor agreement".

I would appreciate it if all developers who are currently GDAL committers,
or who might be interested in becoming a GDAL committer could review the
proposed CLA (individual contributor license agreement) and/or the
CCLA (Corporate Contributor License Agreement) at:

   http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Contributor_Agreement

Anyone providing contributions strictly on their own time would sign
the CLA while anyone doing so as part of work for an organization would
need to sign the CCLA.

So, please comment on whether you would have any personal issues with the
agreement, and if applicable also whether your employer would have any
issues with the CCLA.

Feedback can be directed to gdal-dev or back directly to me.

The CLA/CCLA is one step on the road to "incubation", or migration of the
project into OSGeo.  Those interested in the OSGeo incubation process can
visit:

   http://incubator.osgeo.org/

I am acting as GDAL/OGR representative to the OSGeo incubator (as well as
chairing the Incubator).

Best regards,
--
