"In a separate session about contributor license agreements, Red Hat
attorney Richard Fontana argued that formal contribution agreements are
usually bad, suggested that the legal benefits for the project are dubious.

"It also signals a lack of confidence in free software licenses that
regular open source licenses aren't good enough," he said.

Fontana added that he is participating in Project Harmony, though he has
mixed feeling about the effort."
