[sakai2-tcc] Revised individual Sakai CLA process

[Matthew Jones]

Hello!

Document for reference is on this page:
https://confluence.sakaiproject.org/display/LIC/License+Management+Practice

I'm not sure if anyone has tried to fill out a CLA recently (probably
nobody on here) but since the foundation has left it's permanent physical
presence at Michigan, Chris and I were skeptical if anyone was still
checking the P.O. Box or FAX anymore that was mentioned on the CLA. And
even if Anthony (or someone else) was checking this box, the access to FAX
machines has certainly dwindled.

We've suggested updating this document (to version 1.1) to include new
instructions for electronic submittal. The newest free Adobe Acrobat X has
a "sign" feature, which makes signing these documents quite convenient. The
idea:

- Create a new jira project, one that's significantly locked down so only
cla-admins can access the tickets and reporter can only see their ticket
- Suggest on the new form that reporters create a jira account and submit
the signed CLA pdf document to this jira project
- Then work proceeds from there

I can leave the old info on the address if it's still valid, or just force
everyone to use the new electronic method. This was the method that
sonatype uses for obtaining a repository, and it was much more convenient.

Attached is a draft of the document

Thoughts?
