Re-evaluate where we need to refer to Affiliates and Legal Entity #55

Open silverhook opened 2 years ago

silverhook commented 2 years ago

In §1. Definitions we (in certain set-ups, but not FLA) have also the definition of Legal entity and its Affiliates, but is rarely ever used and not really consistently throughout.

For example:

In addition to that, it might make sense to see if there are other places where we should make use of it. A use case I have in mind is e.g. a corporation using the FLA or other CA.o CLA as a means to collaborate with another corporation (think B2B custom ordered functionality where it makes sense to also upstream that code).

Affiliates are used only in the Patent Pledge option.
