Description
In preparation for contributing Accumulo to the incubator, the National Security Agency has submitted a modified version of the CCLA. The modifications include a broadening of the definition of "You" and "Your" to include owners of contributions not subject to copyright, and a limit on the copyright license to the material for which copyright exists. We would like to know if this modified CCLA is acceptable to cover our participation as Apache committers. The modified paragraphs follow:
...
"You" (or "Your") shall mean the copyright owner, the owner of a
contribution not subject to copyright, or legal entity authorized by
the copyright owner that is making this Agreement with the Foundation.
For legal entities, the entity making a Contribution and all other
entities that control, are controlled by, or are under common control
with that entity are considered to be a single Contributor. For the
purposes of this definition, "control" means 
the power, direct or
indirect, to cause the direction or management of such entity, whether
by contract or otherwise, or (ii) ownership of fifty percent (50%) or
more of the outstanding shares, or (iii) beneficial ownership of such
entity.
...
2. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions
of this Agreement, You hereby grant to the Foundation and to
recipients of software distributed by the Foundation a perpetual,
worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
copyright license to reproduce, prepare derivative works of,
publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute
Your Contributions and such derivative works, to the extent that
copyright exists in the Contribution(s).
