Correct. The model that Android uses I would say is optimal for an
open source project. People can take real copies and derive all the
benefit from that, but they push to a gatekeeper where submissions
are
vetted. Gerrit represents some pretty cool innovation insofar as
collaboration goes.
So far so good
Gatekeepers pushing from local repositries would need to ensure that
everything pushed to center was either their own original work or
credited/audited as per the iCLA.
Contributors - in general - would need to take more care to ensure
that code was only pulled in from sources covered by a license
agreement (the ASL2.0 grant only covers active contributions).
(Reciprocal licenses don't have this problem.) May need some
lightweight process here - be interesting to see how Google approaches
this.
I doubt Google takes any chances on the legal side and their lawyers
wouldn't let anything near Android that didn't cut the muster as far
as any legal compliance measures go.
