If this is acceptable by Google=E2=80=99s lawyers, this seems like a = good solution to me as well. > I don't think anything CLA-like is acceptable to our community.

I agree with this. I=E2=80=99ve only ever contributed to a single = project with a CLA, and that was because 1) I had a huge patch backlog for it, 2) the CLA did not require me to give up my full IRL details, and 3) the CLA process was very streamlined. In general, I and I think a lot of =E2=80=9Ccasual contributors=E2=80=9D tend to be scared off by = the presence and requirement of a CLA. > Rich - Shiz --Apple-Mail=_72D07A1D-B861-45BD-9397-855298920FDF Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: Message signed with OpenPGP using GPGMail -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJW6JGTAAoJEI8YjKeZk+kHOTAP/iWXnFjxgGOAH/eOByzNsCyU GB6riHRlPp4BHkYIX/bPJepHnjUPjMK4RsGdHTkWAu3FYUcbLMF0UvmLgoEyO0so u9kaVQztMz7yPl9gqPewu/gQ20Fv1GZJtMMIhXnKXhcN+jl8u1WRwMa93izPTkLj j/23Gnd2j62rz7Ilf+A8QdpauhAAJbZRaWX+2QFr05THqZP01MRpy8+jvEQ6oFWC awYGc5UelSyY+q8kVu4+BOyQPQaCH2mvhTj1Kwi0YTlYfKJ3lb1XNi1UGCiF3RO9 LgYZfIYchgUVrOfm0sSKL0h+l4uM/klSYjr1TRkrKOwuU9ZuylN4tESPAzuvpFKT O76Y7fGgrgrXrUGRGXZf65VG9EgO4wS1zByV1ghXCIdi1ziZOlp89SwpUD9cvx4D +HaulRfjJheM+51DPlNgXZBS57w47D4/KkfCw/dMNC50wgnPIqvQ6zoajOO3UOme 73nikKXke/D5BgI0Fen//MdLBWGNehDVY7EtBciqs2Gt4BTaH4ePNauTxCuzEsAS nrNfmoyVu0/ibfugkPV7pQpIBgU7uy1Y8sXFnT4vBRSqn596mIEl3kaMrQONlWQ+ kaCA1jvsJTjeAbm8rujdQ8T0rMJU/uKuegU9ymYYeQ8sR9SkGgxGtsjZY7xBIYjT Mk0Hg6Oan5e2WGhC7dbM =gxzN -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Apple-Mail=_72D07A1D-B861-45BD-9397-855298920FDF--
