Thanks for the prompt followup! The text of the agreement is quoted
below, sans the signature block (the original is a PDF, I won't
attempt to subject everyone's MTAs to that), so that anyone can
raise concerns they may have with it. I'm also separately giving any
interested Debian Developers I know involved in OpenStack and the
OpenInfra Foundation a heads up so they'll hopefully chime in with
feedback, as I'm unsure how many of them actively follow
spi-general.
