I would refine this into
A CCLA is not required unless either 1) the company prefers to have
such in place on its own accord or 2) an individual with an iCLA has
determined (e.g. in consultation with his employer or customers) that in his or
her specific situation a CCLA is needed in addition to his own iCLA.
So start with gating the code we (ultimately) distribute and have to have good
governance over to have the release ‘stick’ to the license by gating what goes
into SVN.
- That we do with the Software Grant
- Or with the iCLA of the individual committing.
and provide companies and individuals the ability to clarify their (relative or
absolute) position with a CCLA if they feel so inclined.
