To make this more concrete, we had a mentor withdraw partly because his visa
forbids him from working for anyone except his university, but that form
mentioned
a 1099 form. It wouldn't have been a problem in practice, since the pay goes
to
the org (and isn't forwarded), but ... I couldn't have told that from the form.

We will bring these points to the attention of our counsel for next year.

Lesley: did anything happen about this? As far as I can see, this year's
agreement is
the same as last year's, and I've just had another mentor (for whose project
there
are several applicants, and who has a particular useful skill set) balk at
agreeing
to the terms.
The agreement that everyone signs is _clearly_ inapplicable to and incorrect
for many
of the people signing it. The fact that people just click "OK" anyway does not
mean
this is not an issue. If Google wants the legal protection of an agreement, it
must
create one which accurately reflects the relationships being established.

For the record, I was going go sign up as a mentor for this year's GSoC, but I
decided against it after reading the Agreement, partly because of the issues
discussed in this ticket and partly because of the indemnification clause.
