[Laszlo-dev] contributors?

[P T Withington]

Perhaps more explanation is needed on that page.  The purpose of the  
contributor's agreement is not to control contributions, it is to  
ensure that the code stays under the CPL license and can continue to  
be freely distributed.  (If code were inserted that fell under  
another license, it could 'contaminate' the whole project.)

We intend eventually to let anyone who has executed the license  
contribute, as long as they follow the peer review procedures.  The  
main thing holding that step up is finding the time and resources to  
move the development branch and team to SVN from p4.  Currently SVN  
is read-only because it is a one-way mirror of p4.  Eventually it  
will be read-write for authorized contributors.
