Well. Just like with any other dual-licensed software, you can fork it,
or sign the contributor agreement. I think that Zimbra, OO.o, OpenJDK,
Netbeans and many others require (for acceptable reasons) a similar
agreement. Considering the Red Hat/Sun relationship, I know it can go
both ways. But in a worst case scenario (which I would be disappointed
to see), a fork is acceptable.
