Has this workflow been discussed on legal-discuss ? I'm not sure I see the real difference between checking the box and attaching a patch and checking the box and pointing to the diff / commit. The point is to make sure the user actually knows he grants the IP. Actually the checkbox could be problematic as it apply to the whole issue, whereas the user could only grant one attachment and not all the attachments. > -- > Daniel Kulp > dk...@apache.org > http://dankulp.com/blog > -- Cheers, Guillaume Nodet ------------------------ Blog: http://gnodet.blogspot.com/ ------------------------ Open Source SOA http://fusesource.com
