So that our marketing partners can deliver exciting consumer shopping opportunities directly to your front door ;-) Seriously, "nobody else does" shows you haven't looked much. For example, the first two I just looked at also require a mailing address: Apache CLA https://www.apache.org/licenses/icla.pdf Android CLA https://cla.developers.google.com/clas/new?domain=DOMAIN_GOOGLE&kind=KIND_INDIVIDUAL So I'll guess that projects big enough to hire actual lawyers require an address. As to why they want an address, you'll have to ask a lawyer! There aren't any on this list. So, if you really want to pursue this, I suggest you direct the question instead to the Python Software Foundation, which deals with the project's legalities: p...@python.org _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
