[Users] [Devel] Contributor Licence Agreements

Hello All,

Looked into the open ldap's way of rights assignment, and I guess it does what we want
but
http://www.openldap.org/devel/contributing.html#notice
is pretty vague and re-using it will be a challenge.

Considering we do not agree on all parts, and the limited knowledge I have on licensing,
I'd like to postpone on deciding on our Contributor Licence Agreement until we have
better argumentation.

Regards Barry

This is why OpenLDAP does right's assignment to the project:
<http://www.openldap.org/devel/contributing.html#notice>

This means we can change license or anything else in the future.  No CLA
required.
