Hi Alejandro--

     The list of contributors from whom we have not received a signed
agreement was meant as a gentle reminder to those contributors. All of
the lists are meant as a public service for the community. We assumed
that, by contributing to a public open-source software project, every
contributor would be comfortable with their names being used in these ways.

     Please accept our apologies.

     I couldn't parse that; if you change your mind about spending more
of your time on this discussion, I'd appreciate a rephrasing.

     Again, the list of contributors who have not returned a signed
agreement was meant as a gentle reminder to those contributors who, we
assumed, had simply not gotten around to it yet.

> I think that it is more polite to list the persons that are promoted

     I can see that point, however, I don't think it would be
sufficiently effective in prompting responses from those contributors
who had simply forgotten to return a signed agreement.


     thanks again,
