was fairly vague / subjective. That being said, as I mentioned above, our CLA was setup a long time ago -- and nowadays, "signed-off-by" notices in commit that implicitly agree to redistribution terms are somewhat common. Your contributions have inspired
a re-evaluation of whether we need the formal CLA, or whether the "signed-off-by" notices are sufficient (or perhaps some kind of blend of the two to handle habitual contributors and occasional contributors).<br class="">
