Didn't know about that tick box; seems a good idea. > What is the situation that you need covered? I can think of two cases. One is an unintentional contribution. This seems covered by the ASF ICLA clause about "intentionally submitted", which is not present in Sun's SCA. The other is more of a "statement" where the individual might want to indicate that it no longer is supportive of the institution, but there are other ways to do that. BTW, is there a public list of everybody that has signed an ICLA/CCLA? Something like Sun's [4]. [4] http://sca.java.net/CA_signatories.htm For completeness, the current version of Oracle's CA is OCA 1.6 [5]. I believe it is the same as SCA 1.5, with s/Sun/Oracle/, but not 100% sure. It has several clauses not in the ICLA, including one specific to commercial entities indicates "Any contribution we make available under any license will also be made available under a suitable FSF (Free Software Foundation) or OSI (Open Source Initiative) approved license." - that, of course, would not apply to ASF.
