As many other companies which dual-license their code, Synthesis must be able to use all code in the upstream repository for their commercial offerings. Therefore please sign the Synthesis_AG_Contributor_Agreement.pdf and send it to Synthesis before submitting patches and code to Synthesis for inclusion. By doing so you simplify your own usage of the code (no need to merge your changes with new upstream releases again and again) and ensure that Synthesis will continue to release updates under an open source license (we need to finance the development with sales from our commercial products for commercial platforms and applications). Synthesis is a small, entirely self-funded venture and the code that is now becoming opensource is the work of 8 years focus on SyncML. So we count on contributors to understand that in our own interest as well as the interest of the project's future we need to be able to continue our commercial products without complicating the process of developing them. With the contributor agreement we can avoid the need for forking our internal work into an open source branch and an internal branch, which would severely reduce the possible output on the opensource branch. The contributor agreement ensures we'll be able to share our internal progress in the project without delay with the open source community.
