I was looking at the "W3C Community Contributor License Agreement (CLA)"
[1] to see what Arved had got himself in for in providing the original
code and under what terms we were making the code public, but all it says
is:

   Any source code created by the Project is not subject to this
   CLA, but rather subject to separate licensing terms for that
   source code.

Not very informative.

Does that mean we need separate contributor agreements and license
assignments for software contributions?

What license should we use?

Who/what should own the copyright?

Regards,


Tony.
