Like Alan - I see this as a colossal mistake.  If we ask for new CCLAs and the new management won't sign it - it puts us in a legally very tenuous situation.

Ultimately an organization *can* revoke a CCLA - although they seldom do.   But if an organization wants to revoke a CCLA - they much take steps to do so.   If we ask for a new CCLA - I think that some legal folks would suggest that if there was not a new CCLA forthcoming - it would invalidate the old CCLA.

Lets just *NOT* go there.

This is a very very silly idea.   The merger took care of all of this.  If you have a google doc - type in the data by hand.
