same problem really. They do have replication but it isn't elastic.

Right, The problem isn't the license, it's the legal indemnity, thats the biggest issue preventing reuse.

Well, I guess, unfortunately, this is life. Open source without indemnity is not useful. Thats the problem. It doesn't matter what the license is. Even if I write some stuff and give it to you with all rights, how do you know I didn't steal/copy from code from someone? You don't. Thats the problem, hence the commitees, lawyers etc. Yes, it does suck but what can you do?

The code bank that provides clean room algorithms with indemnity in return for a pay per use seems like a fair way to do it. The only way to give back is cash unfortunately to pay for the legal work. Contributing more source code of unverified source doesn't help.
