We are revising the Mozilla project Contributors Agreement (CVS access agreement) to address deficiences caused by the passage of time, and the upcoming problem that if and when we migrate away from CVS, a lot of the document will become inappropriate. The new document is an agreement with a legal entity (the Mozilla Foundation), generalises references to version control systems and to contributed data, and clarifies the language surrounding acceptable licences.

The new proposed draft is here:
http://wiki.mozilla.org/Contributor_Form

I am drawing this to the attention of the Mozilla cryptography community especially, because the document contains a section (Section 5) which explicitly deals with cryptographic code. So far, I haven't made any significant changes to it in the new draft. Does anyone have any views on whether that section needs revision?

For the avoidance of confusion: this proposal is independent of recent proposed changes in the criteria for gaining CVS access; that is, it was not prompted by and did not prompt them, and stands or falls independently.
