CAA exclusivity. CLA inbound, Apache outbound.CAA exclusivity. CLA inbound, Apache outbound.Posted Aug 11, 2011 14:07 UTC (Thu) by mjg59 (subscriber, #23239)In reply to: CAA exclusivity. CLA inbound, Apache outbound. by sladen Parent article: Desktop Summit: Copyright assignments
A copyright license is only meaningfully non-exclusive if your work isn't a derived work of the existing work. If I write a patch for upstart and sign the Canonical CLA, I can't then give that patch to someone else under another CLA - I'd be violating the GPL. This obviously isn't a problem for sufficiently permissive licenses, but then there's almost no practical point in having a CLA if the work is permissively licensed.
