Is this that big of a deal? I scanned several of the projects I have 
contributed too (Apache, Fedora, JBoss) and they all require copyright 
assignment. It does not seem to be way off base.

The issue will be, I believe, how Reductive reacts to having the 
copyright. Some people will be offended by dual licensing, others will 
be offended by open-core licensing. I dont know that you can please 
everyone. As long as the actions which Reductive takes are supportive of 
the community, I think it would be fine. I personally would prefer the 
LGPL license, but I could see where RL would prefer GPL + copyright 
assignment. That would protect them the most from a revenue point of view.

Anyone know an editor at the Harvard Business Review? It would be great 
to get the process/thinking pros and cons documented.
