Yes, it is the new RLock implementation. If I understood this correctly, we should make a patch against trunk if anything should be contributed.
Yep.
Do you mean that we wouldn't need the paperwork for backporting the original patch committed to py3k?
Whether or not a contributor agreement was essential for this particular contribution would depend on how much new code was needed for the backport, but the bulk of the copyright on the C RLock code would remain with Antoine regardless.
However, sorting through the legalities of the contributor agreement really is the best way to make sure every is squared away nice and neatly from a legal point of view.
After all, even if I was a lawyer (which I'm not, I'm just a developer with an interest in licensing issues), I still wouldn't be your lawyer :)
Cheers, Nick.
