There are lots of people out there how require such things, and it might 
even be for malicious reasons sometimes - not that I'm aware of that in 
the current case, mind you! There are plenty of good reasons to do so as 
well.

The point here is: nobody is forced to sign such agreement, breakout is 
not an effort that has any importance for the python, let alone all 
three communities, and this is a totally private matter between two 
people. Maybe fellow co-developers are interested, but then there should 
be an email list.

And as Illias has a history of postings that claim others post 
containing irrelevant stuff - either to him, or in general - he is on 
very thin ice here.
