Developers- Most of you are aware of Jasig's move to Apache 2.0 licensing for its software products (http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/x/u4WcAQ), and many of you have already complied with the request to submit an Individual Contributor License Agreement. You may also know that the institutions and corporations that employ our developers are asked to sign a Corporate Contributor License Agreement.
While some of our participating institutions are familiar with this kind of request, others are not and have had questions about the agreement and its implications. To address these, we have asked Tracy Mitrano, at Cornell, to be available via a teleconference not yet scheduled. Tracy is Cornell's Director of IT Policy and a co-director of the EDUCAUSE/Cornell Institute for Computer Policy and Law. She has extensive experience assisting Cornell with issues pertaining to institutional and developer participation in open source projects. While not able to offer legal advice, she has agreed to answer other questions about your institution's involvement in our projects. Before scheduling a time for this teleconference, we would like to get a sense of how many schools would be interested in attending. Please let us know if there is interest at your institution by sending an email to info at jasig dot org by Friday, February 19th. General questions about licensing may be addressed to licensing at jasig dot org.
