Changing MySQL’s Community Contribution Agreement
A while ago, MySQL developed a Community Contribution Agreement for community contributions to the MySQL source code. While browsing the MySQL Forge Wiki I came across:
http://forge.mysql.com/wiki/Community_Contributions
This page shows that the Community Contribution Agreement has changed — it is no longer the document MySQL AB created. It is now Sun Microsystem’s standard Sun Contributor Agreement, which CEO MÃ¥rten Mickos recently explained to me was “more accepted than the agreement MySQL had come up with.”
I am happy to see some of the great Sun practices trickle down to replace some issues that MySQL did not handle smoothly. All in all, I agree with MÃ¥rten Mickos and think the Sun Contributor Agreement is much better….
….but what do you think?
