Contribution agreements (Re: [sldev] What is the point offirstlook and giving feedback to LL)

[Gordon Wendt]

As far as I'm concerned LL already has betrayed the trust of their
contributors the moment they decided to downline license rights to the
viewer essentially making that version that they licensed out closed source
even though it was based off open source contributions and as of yet nothing
has been gotten back by the contributors by LL's selling out.

Rob, you have to admit that it's quite hypocritical that LL expects it's
contributors to give up most of the rights to their contributions without
condition when LL is unwilling to do the same in case they "change their
mind" especially since once you sign the contribution agreement (an act I
have not taken and most likely never will) a contributor has his/her hands
tied.

. Richard if you haven't already I suggest you go back into this list's
archives to read into the background of the "re-licensing" of the source
code to the "Electric Sheep Company".
