I for one signed an iCLA and considering section 7, I
wouldn't go ahead and commit copyleft content to SVN
without discussing it carefully.
Rob has gone unilaterally about declaring what he
thinks as a known truth and assuming because he wrote
it on a wiki and no one has complained then it is the
one true way (TM). In his defense I have to say he did
ask the right questions but he didn't get concrete answers.
I think Andrea Pescetti has given us a lesson on how things
are done. Who knows, I think if Rob does a well thought
proposal to legal@ and we all give our feedback concerning
the shortcomings or relative virtues of this approach we may
get to something.
Pedro.
