Re: Choice of License.

 

If you have a concern about the contribution agreement with the
CodePlex Foundation, then raise your concern with them and have them
pay their lawyers to address it. Having set up the legal processes for
the CodePlex Foundation myself, I know that (a) they should be willing
to do so, and (b) they have no desire to make legal anxiety a burden
for Foundation projects.
