(It does not involve copyright).
Not involving copyright indeed, it doesn't properly address the issues
under discussion.
Anyway:
- It does something good in identifying contributions and warrantying
against violation of third party rights.
- It allows the receiving entity to upgrade the license automatically
(only from LGPL/GPL/AGPL 3 to the next one, and so on) but you can
oppose in the first month after the new license is released; and
this seems to go toward uncertainty, which is bad.
- It is still mandatory paperwork. And mandatory paperwork must be
justified by good reasons, and those in this agreement do not seem
good enough to me, since it's a trade-off that does not empower the
entity enough (of course, this is my point of view!).

Andrea Pescetti.
