I still have no idea what "CLAHub" is, but FWIW, the fundamental requirement is that we need to get one particular copyright assignment signed and we don't want to trust anyone but the FSF to verify (and store) this paperwork (especially not a company whose incorporation bylaws make its aim to be maximizing profits rather than preserve the users's Freedom). > I hope this would not boil down to a =E2=80=98CLA=E2=80=99 saying essenti= ally that the > contributor has completed the (separate) FSF copyright assignment. I can't see how it could be otherwise. Stefan
