OK - thanks for re-posting.

But may I ask, what's in it for a developer to sign this?

There are sections where the developer indemnifies FPI from
liability, but there seems to be nothing in the reverse of that.
On face value, it looks a bit one-sided.

How about some clauses where FPI indemnifies the developer from any
legal liability arising from FPI's use of the code?

IANAL, but it seems that part of the deal is that the developer is
willing to assume legal risks in FPI's use of the code, or in the use
of the code by any other party who gets it from FPI.

For instance, if someone inserted a vast MP3 site, and RIAA went
ballistic, it looks like RIAA can go after the developers jointly or
separately, and this agreement would indemnify FPI.

I'd appreciate some clarification on this.
