[QUOTE="tomBitonti, post: 8921198, member: 13107"] There’s too much here for me to respond to it in detail. Re: “accept” vs “agree”, yes, I used the wrong word. But, that doesn’t take away my question: How to fit “Contributors grant” to “sub-license”. That’s the key question, which has still not been addressed. Re: “consequence”. You have taken one meaning of the word while discounting others. For section 4, the grants do not occur unless there is an agreement. The timing of when the considerations happen seems irrelevant. That the grants occur because of the agreement make the grants a consequence of the agreement. Re: lack of contradiction. Your statements that follow take it that the grant of licenses by section 4 is sub-licensing. Since my question is, basically, how can that be? The grants flow from the contributors and the text seems to nowhere says that a right of sub-licensing has been granted, other that the later use of the term. The conclusion — that there is sub-licensing — is being used to prove that there is sub-licensing. Can you answer specifically how a contributor granting a license fits the meaning of sub-licensing? My plain text read is that the license is granted directly by the contributor, and that doesn’t seem to fit the definition of sub-licensing that you gave. TomB [/QUOTE]
