Does anyone happen to know when precisely the old Fedora CLA (not the
current FPCA) began to be used? The presumably ancestral Apache
Software Foundation Individual CLA was adopted by the ASF on
2004-06-23, which was in between the release of Fedora Core 2 and
Fedora Core 3.
So my understanding is that the CLA was put in place as a requirement of
CVS access during development/merger of Fedora Extras 3 (previous
versions were hosted by the external fedora.us project). You'd think
there would be some big announcement about this somewhere, but I haven't
found it yet.
At this point there didn't seem to be a procedure in place:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-extras-list/2005-January/msg00046.html
An interim procedure arose shortly thereafter, but implies that no
non-RH packagers had CVS access yet:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-extras-list/2005-February/msg00208.html
The earliest mentions of the CLA I could find were:
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-extras-list/2005-March/msg00046.html
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-extras-list/2005-March/msg00830.html
The process was already automated the following month:
