  Look at the fine print when you contribute patches then. For individuals: http://www.canonical.com/sites/default/files/active/images/Canonical-HA-CLA-ANY-I.pdf http://www.canonical.com/sites/default/files/active/images/C... 2.3 Outbound License Based on the grant of rights in Sections 2.1 and 2.2, if We include Your Contribution in a Material, We may license the Contribution under any license, including copyleft, permissive, commercial, or proprietary licenses. As a condition on the exercise of this right, We agree to also license the Contribution under the terms of the license or licenses which We are using for the Material on the Submission Date. Same goes for the entity license: http://www.canonical.com/sites/default/files/active/images/Canonical-HA-CLA-ANY-E.pdf http://www.canonical.com/sites/default/files/active/images/C...

    Yes, but that's still not assignment of copyright. The contributor still retains their copyright.

      Fair call.
