It says it's a pledge. How does it mean anything just sitting there? Must there not be an act of making/joining the pledge? Seems to me either that language must go, or in future, contributions (at least those ending up in the tree) can only be accepted from people who explicitly made/joined/signed the pledge (AKA read and sign this EULA before contributing even the tiniest bug-fix). -- Thorsten Wilms thorwil's design for free software: http://thorwil.wordpress.com/
