I invite you to google "Contributor Licence Agreement". Either way I don't see why we are arguing about it, Swift will be released with a permissive license, which is a good thing :-).

I know what they are, and that doesn't change anything. Apple can't force people to sign a Contributor Agreement. Look at, for example, what happened with MariaDB and MySQL. Oracle can't force the MariaDB devs to sign the agreement, nor would Apple be able to in similar situations.
