     !disturbing: #Amir_Micahel's #OpenCompute requires a #CLA. Turns out it's the #Apache CLA, but still, why no inbound=outbound? #lfcollab

     #lfcollab: If folks were wondering, #OpenCompute is a 501(c)(6). Too young yet to see who their members are (no Form 990s yet).

     #lfcollab #Zemlin says "#Intel's been involved w/ #Linux from 'very beginning'". I wasn't aware Intel contributed pre-1.0 kernels. Really?

     #lfcollab: #Sousou: "#Zemlin takes abuse from LF member companies";Don't feel bad for Jim: that's what a 501(c)(6) is like;sort of the point

     At #lfcollab, #Sousou says "#Intel is the number 2 contributor to #Linux, after #RedHat. (Although one time Intel beat them.)"

     #lfcollab #Sousou: #Intel believes they cannot do contributions if they have to engage in philosophical discussion about freedom. *Sigh*

     #lfcollab #Sousou talking about #Yocto . I'm glad it exists to help embedded build. Amazed at how much resource #Intel has put to it.

     I like Apache-style CLAs (or GPL-style Yoyodyne sign-off). Makes things clear. What's "inbound=outbound"?

     inbound=outbound, contributors retain copyright and license their contributions under the same license as the license the project is under.

     Ah, right. But that makes it much harder to change the license as a group.

     Yes, that is the main benefit. Contributors know the license will not be changed to something they do not agree with.

     Contributors can pre-approve license upgrades by using a "or any later version" clause typically used with GPL projects.
