There is a draft of a new CLA being circulated at FreeIPA:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/freeipa-devel/2008-April/msg00052.html
http://www.freeipa.org/wiki/images/2/2b/GenericCLA.pdf
I've asked Legal for a summary of what's changed and why, and an answer
to whether all Fedora contributors would need to re-execute this
agreement. (I'm betting the answer to the last question is "yes," but
that's just an educated guess.) I believe the changes to be minor,
mainly to eliminate loopholes and to make this process less onerous in
the future, but I'll wait for more information.
Ricky Zhou tells me that our CLA signing information is kept in the form
of a log table, not a simple date field. AIUI then, we have the ability
to find out what CLAs have been executed over the life of an account.
If I'm correct about that, I want to say first, thanks for a really good
design. :-)
Second, since a new CLA is a possibility -- I just want to confirm that
we are not *overwriting* old CLA data, i.e. we would maintain a history
that user "johndoe" signed a CLA on 2007-10-15 and then again on
2008-04-28.

This is only true for FAS2, not FAS1 I think.

that user "johndoe" signed a CLA on 2007-10-15 and then again on
2008-04-28.
AFAIK the cla gets signed and a copy of it gets forwarded on to some legal
address. We might want to contact the owner of that address (maybe spot?
maybe greg?) and see if that mailbox is still full of cla signatures.

I think it's spot. He'll see this and confirm or deny as needed. :-)

CLAs come into my inbox. I hadn't been keeping them, just sanity
checking them.
If I understand what Ricky meant by "log table" correctly, we have a
list of dates that we can tie to account names. If someone could
confirm this who understands the bits involved, that would be great.

I think we'd be covered. WE know when oldies like myself signed the CLA
because it tracks when I joined cla_done. If I re-sign something I don't
think I'll be joining cla_done and the new cla agreement should show up in
the log table.
