Rusty Newton commented on ASTERISK-22403:
-----------------------------------------

bq. Tried yet again. This time it was rejected because I put my PO box address.

Yes, the form mentions that the address must be your Employer's address, (if submitting on behalf of an employer or organization) or your residential address.

I don't see any valid legal reason why I should have to disclose my residential address for a software license agreement to be valid, the agreement does not facially require it, and I don't want to do so for privacy reasons.

If Digium believes that my residential address is absolutely required for a software licensing agreement to be legally executed, then please let me know what the reason is for that. I have routinely signed contracts with entities whose address was a PO box.

I talked with our legal department. The reason for requiring a street address, either your address if you are submitting as an individual or your employer’s if you are submitting on behalf of your employer, is primarily because Digium needs reliable methods to reach contributors in the event there is a question regarding Digium’s right to license the Submission. It is easier to locate contributors who have moved based on the last known street address versus a PO Box address. Additionally if we were ever required to notify contributors of something which requires confirmation of receipt by the individual, for example by certified mail, it is impossible to do so using a PO Box.

If not, then I guess Digium doesn't want my code.

I've said repeatedly that I am happy to explicitly license the code compatibly w/ Asterisk's license, but I am not comfortable with the degree of invasion of privacy that is being demanded of me.

The patch sounds cool. We can't consider the code for inclusion until the CLA is submitted as required.
We don't want you to do something you don't feel comfortable with. If the requirements are unacceptable to you, let us know and we can close this issue out and move on. Out of respect for everyone involved here, we don't want to drag this on.

> There is a few patches that need sign off. There is an original patch created, which was adapted by another developer, which still does not apply cleanly to current SVN. 
> In an attempt to have all the required sign offs, I'll have each developer submit their patch with sign off and provide a final patch which will apply cleanly for possible inclusion.
