> Ah yes, CLAs are not a real open source, which is why they're required by uhh FSF.

The last time I saw a FSF CLA, it was part of a larger agreement that also imposed obligations on the FSF.

In the long run, there may be risks to the FSF holding so many copyrights. But I don't think it clarifies matters to treat the FSF's CLAs the same as ones used by a "open core" VC funded startup.
