First, the flag being *_cla continues to create an impression that there is a CLA in Fedora; note that in fact the Subject: of this thread is really a misnomer. I think it makes for a prejudiced reading.

Second, the only problem I've ever had with the FPCA is that it is written as a legal document, so causes people's eyes to glaze over. I've got an alternative to consider, which is a bit easier to read and accomplishes the same thing. I wrote it with Richard Fontana, who was lead author and legal counsel on the FPCA.
If Richard is interested in going through this again with Fedora, I won't say no. :)
It doesn't need to be a complicated policy (read the above, IMO it accomplishes what the FPCA does in fewer words.)
Honestly, I think that once one gets through the gigantic "Terms" section Fedora has, and over the monospace formatting, it's really no more or less complicated. But whatever. :)
