Further to your ongoing exchange with Bill, it's not (and shouldn't be) 
a contributor agreement by Univa. It should be a contributor agreement 
by the project and we should discuss what we want it to say - in the 
steering committee or else why are we entertaining it?

Sure we can merge things but is that the spirit of an open source 
project? That one party only touches the code?
