What about the risk of the project potentially pulling from this new open source pool from private servers only to find out later down the line it was originally ripped from leaked source code?

IANAL but I think if such a thing would happen the code would need to be reverted, and the original commiter would be liable of code theft.Originally Posted by Livy2K
We will be drafting a CLA(contributor license agreement) soon for new commits, like many other open source projects have, to protect the project from this kind of actions.
