WFIW, Dojo collects CLAs from contributors. I signed it, when
submitted code.
OTOH, anybody can be sued for no reasons whatsoever. Don't ask
me how I know it. :(
Thanks,

IP
discussions are worth having, if often painful.
I'm far from an expert
(or a lawyer), but as a director of the PSF, I unfortunately have a lot of
conversations about this stuff.
I worry a bit about the current system
"scaling" in the long term, as today's core devs may not stick around for 10
years. It seems to me that Django's contributors are probably few enough
and 'findable' enough that you could pretty easily get CLAs from them, and
avoid the problems that Python is dealing with today, with lots of people who
are just "gone", including contributors of significant IP.
I have no
concerns about the Journal-World, but I suspect that _if_ you had proper CLAs
from contributors, the PSF would probably accept the IP (and thereby take on
responsibility for defending it) if that was of interest to the Django
community.
