Contributing a Connector implementation from out of Airbyte

Hey @dmikurube,

According to our Contributor License Agreement (which you sign on Github when submitting your first contribution) you have to sign over your copyright license to Airbyte and the rest of the community:

“Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, You hereby grant to the Project and to recipients of software distributed by the Project a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable copyright license to reproduce, prepare derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute Your Contributions and such derivative works.”

Airbyte connectors are generally licensed using the MIT license but we remain the copyright holders of the contributions. Does this make sense?
