[license] Contributions from tainted developers?

[Rodrigo Kumpera <ku...@gmail.com>]

Hi,
 What can someone that agreed to the SCSL contribute? 
 I've agreed on the SCSL for the 1.4.2 JVM and I want to contribute to 
Harmony.
 I did a carefull reading of the license and in my layman's undestanding, 
I cannot contribute to anything that is convered by the 1.4.2 spec since it 
would 
need to be under the SCSL, but this also means that I can do 1.5 only stuff.
 The license has termination terms, but I have no clue if requesting it 
and destroying all copies of SCSL covered stuff would make me "untainted".

This is an important issue and recognize that it and related can have  
some far-reaching effects for us.  There will be a post later about  
this.  Please be patient and hang tight - we'll deal with it.
