Subject: All past Keyczar contributors PLEASE READ
Shawn Willden:
It turns out that the Googlers on this project haven't done our legal due diligence as we should, and as a result, Keyczar is in danger of being pulled completely, just when I was thinking that we had a chance to revive it and move it to Github (thanks entirely to Devin's offer and interest).
To avoid having it taken down, and to get it moved to Github, we need to get Contributor Licensing Agreements signed by everyone who has contributed. The agreement doesn't give your IP to Google or restrict your use of it... well, I probably shouldn't try to interpret it for you.
Obviously, in the future we'll need CLAs from anyone who contributes.
Thanks, and sorry about this.
Steve Weis:
Keyczar was released under an Apache 2.0 license and I received approval from open source and legal teams in 2008. Why is there suddenly a need to retroactively get a Google CLA? What happens if you're unable to get everyone to agree?
Regardless, these are all the internal contributors I recall before it was released:
Me
Arkajit Dey
Ben Laurie
Neil Daswani
Marius Schilder
Sarvar Patel
Loren Kornfelder
Manuel Marquez Garrido
Rafael Castro
Laura Krotowski
