X-Archives-Salt: 1b147bca-e210-413d-b496-997096a17d9f X-Archives-Hash: b6cbe5461838dcd1092287a138c6bb35 Hi; A long while back, I asked if it was a requirement for ebuild submiters to assign copyright. I was told no, GPL license was entirely sufficient. I think this has changed, or was untrue. Now, Ive already given up on the submission process, but I _am_ curious about this policy, as I havent yet given up on Gentoo itself. Paul set@pobox.com (two ancient ebuilds I submitted have 'recently' received feedback, requesting reassignment of copyright. Im not referencing them, as one touches on some of the issues that caused me to punt on contributing ebuilds, and I really dont care to discuss that.) -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
