I know of at least one person at EMC who submitted a patch to kyua, but then could not get it accepted because of the need for signing the Google Contributor License Agreement. Getting permission from EMC to sign the Google CLA proved to be an uphill battle. I actually signed the Google CLA for kyua last year. However, this week, Julio informed me that Google transferred all CLA from one database to another, and in the process they lost my signed agreement!! So Julio asked me to sign again. This is annoying. ATF/Kyua are Julio's things, so ideally, he would be the one to change the licensing and signature requirements. However, since he is a Google employee, he has some rules which he must follow. Other than that I don't see what can be done, other than some type of fork of the kyua project or a rewrite of the code under a different license. -- Craig
