    Kuhn: Why your project doesn't need a contributor licensing agreement
    Bradley Kuhn tells free
    software projects     that they need not worry about contributor license
    agreements. "Thus, I encourage those considering a CLA to look past
    the 'nice assurances we'd like to have — all things being equal' and focus
    on the 'what legal assurances our FLOSS project actually needs to assure
    its thrives'. I've spent years doing that analysis; I've concluded quite
    simply: in this regard, all a project and its legal home actually need is a
    clear statement and/or assent from the contributor that they offer the
    contribution under the project's known FLOSS license.    "

    RHEL 7 released
    Red Hat has sent out a
    suitably buzzword-laden press release     announcing the availability of
    Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7. "Bare metal servers, virtual
    machines, Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) and Platform-as-a-Service
    (PaaS) are converging to form a robust, powerful datacenter environment to
    meet constantly changing business needs. Answering the heterogeneous
    realities of modern enterprise IT, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 offers a
    cohesive, unified foundation that enables customers to balance modern
    demands while reaping the benefits of computing innovation, like Linux
    Containers and big data, across physical systems, virtual machines and the
    cloud – the open hybrid cloud.    "
