Either we have to get the legal copyright of everything up-front in order to protect it if necessary, or we have to round up the authors and rightful copyright owners when that time comes. I'm inclined to say "screw it" and just hope Portage is never ripped off.. I've had too many people voice opinions against any kind of copyright assignment despite the fact that it would be in their best interest. It is their development time and efforts at stake here. If we offer to help protect that and they don't want it, we shouldn't force it on them. Cheers! -C -- gentoo-trustees@gentoo.org mailing list
