“The Harmony agreements reached a significant milestone this
week, as they were tagged 1.0 and left the “beta” stage. As someone
who has previously taken position regarding contributor licensing
agreements, I was asked this week what my thoughts on Harmony
are.“The goal of the project, as far as I can tell, is to provide a
set of templates for people who might want to use a Contributor
Licensing Agreement (CLA). As far as it goes, that is fine. Where
there is a danger is if the existence of such a template is used to
encourage the adoption of CLAs (including copyright assignment) as
a “best practice” to be followed.”
