Thanks for the clarification. I tried to figure out how to word
that, but it's still not entirely clear to me _what_ additional
broadness is granted by the OpenStack Foundation ICLA. I'd love it
if we had an FAQ with a summary of that additional broadness we
could point people to, though I gather lawyers are generally against
the idea of summaries of legal agreements since they would counter
that the agreement itself is already as summarized as it can be
(which doesn't help when it takes a lawyer to interpret and explain
it every time the question comes up).
