The exvlusive is not enforced by the terms in the CLA. It comes from the fact that contributors only sign up the CLA with the company when making contributions to the company's OSS projects, that company thus claim they have the "exclusion".
- zvr 5y agoThey sign a CLA that explicitly says > 2. [...] You hereby grant to [...] a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable copyright license [...] and > Except for the license granted herein to [...], You reserve all right, title, and interest in and to Your Contributions. I am amazed that their S-1 includes language such as the one shown in the article.
