That's because we're still discussing them with lawyers (a year too
long :-( ).

Eventually we'll want one from you too.  In this specific case of code
that is known to be distributed as part of glibc as well, I think it's
important to have an explicit paper trail from the original author
(who better be the author of *all* lines he's contributing to us :-).

I recommend that he sign the Proposed Contribution Licensing
Agreement.
