[Psc] contributor agreement

Hey-

Actually, after another read of the contributor agreement, I'll retract 
what I said below.

Individuals do not need to be listed on the form signed by a 
representative of an organization (or any entity).

So, I think we're better off just having an agreement from Camptocamp 
that doesn't list individuals (implying the list should be limited).

As others make contributions under the same agreement, we can keep track 
of their affiliation on our contributor page:

http://www.geoext.org/trac/geoext/wiki/ContributorAgreement

Does that sound reasonable to others?

If so, and if it is not too much trouble, could I get a copy that does 
not have the list of individuals from you Cédric?

Thanks,
Tim
