Okay, although this was not meant to be a 'legal' document, it might as
well be. That's fine w/ me.

Where you say this is a volunteers only effort, etc. make sure it does
not exclude (or restrict us) from allowing paid-for employees of
external companies to work on Arabeyes projects.

I am not in favor of this kind of voting. Vote yes/no on the whole
thing. Otherwise this could drag on forever. There will be parts that
some of us may not like, compromise, big deal.. If it's a big issue then
make a point of it, otherwise vote yes or no on the whole thing.
