Note: if you ever want your code to go into the Python
distribution you'll hve to make sure that you own the
copyright on it and have full rights and title to the
code.

The Zope contributor agreement as it stands causes rights and
title to be shared between Zope Corp and yourself (whatever
that means).

In the end it's probably better for legal reasons to keep
Zope Corp out of this and leave the code in your CVS or in a
separate SourcForge project CVS (this is the way that many other
contributors of larger chunks of code have done it and
it's the most flexible).

Your decision, really :-)
