Markus, Agreed. This is one of many reasons why this discussion is so important, even if we'd rather be drinking beer. ;-) If you think you might ever consider re-licensing your project, then it's not a bad idea to consider contribution agreements. They can make the process to re-license, should you ever decide to, a lot less pain & effort. I hope that it isn't lost in the discussion that it really isn't about a given license winning or dying even if that's interesting to data junkies like us. It's about the project's goals, and hopefully reducing friction towards achieving them. Andrew
