Software Freedom Conservancy Publishes Agreements for Linux Compliance Program

  Talking about template, I really want a standard way to clarify open source contributions during $work. Every time I have to fight with legal to get a provision added. Usually I am the first to have raised that issue so I get blank stares back. GPL only works because of copyright. I bet most small contributions like bug fixes have unclear or illegal copyright assignment because of over-protective contract legalese.
