Your right about this. Most projects have a "Contributor's Agreement". We should look at some examples from popular projects and maybe just copy it with a few changes where appropriate.
Hi Everybody,
it occurred to me there may be legal pitfalls (particularly in the States, but not only) concerning "Intellectual Property" of any contribution.
I know several organizations (e.g.: Eclipse) require a declaration from each contributor stating:
1) he is transferring Copyright of each and all patches to the Project.
2) no other party (i.e.: his employer) has any claim on his contributions.
I know because I had to go into some loops to have some contributions accepted.
Should we be concerned?
I know *noting* about USA Copyright laws (aside from the fact they're making many "attorneys" rich).
Is there someone knowledgeable here on the list?
Should we seek advice? (where? github? FSF?)
We should fix this ASAP, before the coder base enlarges.

Mobile security can be enabling, not merely restricting. Employees who
bring their own devices (BYOD) to work are irked by the imposition of MDM
restrictions. Mobile Device Manager Plus allows you to control only the
apps on BYO-devices by containerizing them, leaving personal data untouched!
