Sun Contributor Agreement
Following the lead of other open source projects, Project Fortress requires contributors to jointly assign their copyright on contributed code. The Sun Contributor Agreement (SCA) gives Sun and the contributor joint copyright interests in the code: the contributor retains copyrights while also granting those rights to Sun as the open source project sponsor.
The SCA is applicable to all products and projects owned or managed by Sun: signing it once means you can contribute code to any Sun-sponsored open source project.
By executing the SCA, contributors protect the Project Fortress code base, enable alternative licensing models, and protect the flexibility to adapt the project to the changing demands of the community. In order for the SCA to be effective, Project Fortress must obtain an assignment for all contributions. Please review the SCA for a complete understanding of its terms and conditions. By contributing source code or other material to Project Fortress you represent that you have a SCA with Sun for such contributions. In order to track contributors, you understand that your full name and username will be posted on a public URL of authorized contributors.
