      https://portal.pfsense.org/members/signup/ICLA 
      is unacceptable, as it transfers copyright free developer work to a company without compensation.

      If it was an assignment (which it is not), then yes, it would transfer copyright to ESF.  It does not, but rather grants a non-exclusive license.
      There is a big difference here.

      BTW, your call for GPL est très drôle, parce que le FSF exige assignment (transfer of ownership) of copyright when you contribute to their projects.

      Read these and ponder your hero:
      http://www.gnu.org/licenses/why-assign.html
      http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/Copyright-Papers.html
      http://www.fsf.org/licensing/assigning.html

      @Grub3:

      This assignment also suggest that pfSense codebase (not pfSense brand) is the ownership of all developers and this is an interesting information, thank you.

      As a member of the future developer alliance incorporated under a foundation, we don't recommend signing this agreement.
      Please read pfSense Internet neutrality and FreeBSD licence post.

      You are entitled to your opinions, of course.  Even when they're laughably wrong.

      BTW, don't post here again on this subject.  There is a forum for licensing discussions.  Any further postings by you in Development, which are about licensing, will be deleted.

        hi Jeremy,

        You stated that in the https://portal.pfsense.org/ there should be an $0 developer option, for subscribing.
        I cannot find it. The subscription form only states $99 and up subscriptions, and I just want to have acces
        to the repo.

          The instructions are quite wrong and incomplete because you can't create an account unless you either subscribe for support or sign the ICLA at the same time. Unfortunately the only piece of information that directs you to the ICLA is here on forums and not on the portal page (you hear me admins?) Go here and fill in the form to sign the ICLA and create your account:

              Thanks :) Could you also look into adding a link to the ICLA on the portal page?

                I cannot for the life of me get this to work.

                @jporter:

                If you are being prompted for a password your ssh-key is not working.

                This ^^

                @jporter:

                Check your local ssh-agent and make sure it is running.  Check that your ssh public key is valid and correct in your profile.  Sometimes cutting and pasting can introduce unwanted whitespace/newlines.

                Checked.

                @jporter:

                DSA Keys longer than 512 characters will fail work in the portal.  Keys encoded up to 1024 bytes are ok.  Still avoid newlines.

                Checked.

                @jporter:

                If there are other pointers suggestions you can add them here, and I'll update the post.

                What is really missing is a full example of all the little steps from scratch. By that, I mean showing the correct sequence of "ssh-agent" commands, and so on for generating a key file. With some kind of example of what the public key should actually look like, once pasted into the web form / input box.

                See here for other such guides:

                [EDIT]
                On IRC, someone say they signed up long ago with this link, to get LA:

                https://portal.pfsense.org/members/signup/la

                However that not work anymore. So I wonder it that have anything to do with it. Because my subscription only have ICLA and LA accepted (but not TLA). Many thanks.

                EDIT: moderator edit to correct incorrect link

                    Hi all!

                    I try " git clone git@git.pfsense.org:pfsense-tools" but unsucessfull. It ask me type password for git@git.pfsense.org

                    I think i have mistake about ssh public key.

                    But my ssh public key (/root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub) and key on https://portal.pfsense.org/members/signup/LA (my profile) are same.

                    people can help me fix it…!

                    thanks...!

                      Open/create ~/.ssh/config in an editor of you choice.
                      Put stuff there similar to:

                      Host git.pfsense.org
                      Hostname git.pfsense.org
                      User git
                      IdentityFile /home/me/.ssh/me.privkey

                      We do what we must, because we can.

                        Tried this idea, no good here :(

                        root@pfsense-22:/tmp/git-teste # git clone git@git.pfsense.org:pfsense-tools tools
Cloning into 'tools'...
ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

                        created the config file, and no good. Tried without also, same problem. sometimes I get this error above, other times ask for password.

                          Same issue in this thread –> https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=79413.0

                          Seems to be a DNS issue ..

                          git clone git@git.pfsense.org:pfsense-tools tools
                          Cloning into 'tools'…
                          Password for git@git.pfense.org:

                          notice it returns as pfense.org not pfSense.org.
                          Before I could circumvent this by lookup up git.pfsense.org and simply punching in the IP directly… This obviously shouldnt be working like that... but it did..
                          Anyway that no longer works.

                          So I guess we are waiting for someone to fix this in the config.

                          Please fix this ...
                          Thanks!

                            Can't be that admins/devs/mods are unaware of the issue. That's just improbable mathematically. Help has been asked in public forums over past 3 weeks quite a lot of times. If one browses forum even by skimming trough the topics, it should be noticeable enough.

                            Including in topics they have communicated in earlier times (It would show up in "Show new replies to your posts")

                            EDIT: :)

                            I had some private e-mail communications on Saturday with the maintainer of the Tools repo SSH access.  He is aware of the problems and working on it.

                                  A few weeks ago pfsense-tools appeared as a private repo on GitHub for me (and presumably for others that were already signed up). Can someone update the instructions here to say where the pfsense-tools repo will be found after you sign up?

                                  As the Greek philosopher Isosceles used to say, "There are 3 sides to every triangle."

                                    Yeah that would be nice to have. I unfortunately did not have my GitHub details in there at the time of the announcement but do now.
                                    Unfortunately still don't have access though.

                                        It is still there for me, private repo and updated 7 hours ago, so it is not a general problem - I guess you are special :)

                                          You should have received a confirmation email from github to whatever email is in your github account settings.
