Sorry I missed the call yesterday, I was teaching the kids. :)  I'll
try to put an ear to it right now, but in the meantime, a question ...

Can you clarify for me how this is supposed to work with blending
content between CLA-yes and CLA-no?

For example, Mr. Able wants his IP managed under a CLA, and Ms. Baker
prefers to just license it directly under the CC-BY-SA.  They both are
going to work together on a chapter, pulling in content from OSS
Watch, which is also managed under the CLA.  This content is blended
in to a single chapter.  How do you sort out later if there is a
question that would be resolved with the CLA, but Ms. Baker's IP is
all over the place under a single license?

Just wondering ... :)
