This is all covered. Results are:
* Plain-English CLA is nixed on simple grounds -- basically,
Fedora is not your lawyer, and interpreting a legal document is
providing legal advice.
* CLA hierarchies are cleared for usage.
Wherever I post the policy, it comes down to this:
A. Content (code, etc.) that goes into an RPM package must be
covered by a GPG-signed CLA.
B. Content that is for collaboration (wiki) must be covered by
the CLA, but it can be a click-through agreement.
So, I can take content on the Wiki that is click-through covered (and
under the OPL therefore), move it to e.g. the release notes and put that
in CVS (with my GPG-signed cla_done permissions.) This is an analogue
to taking patches via bugzilla and mailing lists.
Next steps are:
1. Enable click-through for new accounts
2. Populate that click-through with the CLA
3. Update the WikiLicense to reflect CLA + OPL
4. Remove EditGroup ACL site-wide so people can complete
registration 100% self-service
We'll let you know when that is done. At that point, I think an
announcement is in order.
