Well i think consideration should be given to the fact that it's a language project driven by a single individual trying to make his living out of it, not a dbms bought by a multinational company.<p>I personnally have no problem with that. It's also a sign of the fact that Rich wants to keep a pretty strong hand on what is happening with clojure, and as far as the project is a language project, i find that quite healthy.<p>Also, imagining that you would have a contribution to make to Clojure, and you'd really want to make it (because you work with it everyday for example). What would stop you to even consider signing the agreement ? (true question)
