This is a public review draft for the new Jasig Licensing Policy. It has not yet been formally adopted by Jasig and is subject to further changes. We are requesting comments on this draft until July 17August 5, 2009. Comments should be sent to the Jasig public discussion mailing list at jasig-licensing@lists.jasig.org |

Historical Note: Some Jasig projects were previously managed under the New BSD License. Contributions to these projects were then accepted under the terms of that license. For historical purposes, the New BSD License is broadly interpreted as the Contributor License Agreement for those contributions, and those projects still honor all the terms of that License. New contributions to any Jasig project are now only accepted with an ICLA, CCLA, or SGLA in place first.

Ultimately, open source projects must succeed on their own merits – - the choice of copyleft protection will not be a major factor in the fate of any project.
...
The second reason for requiring CLAs is to allow Jasig to better ensure the sustainability of the project. In the future, there may be unforeseen needs to adjust the licensing of Jasig projects. Without appropriate CLAs in place for all contributions, Jasig would have to seek individual permission from all past contributors in order to make changes to the licensing of the overall project – - this could prove impossible in a long-running project with hundreds of contributors. The Mozilla Relicensing effort serves as a cautionary tale as to what can happen to projects that do not have central governance with the ability to adjust project licensing.
