As an aside, how can copyright be assigned to a non-defined 
group (a concept really, as near as I can tell). Is the PGDG 
actually defined anywhere yet? If not, anyone want to take 
a stab at it?

IMHO, we need to get this resolved at some point - either have 
the code owned by their respective contributors (e.g. Linux) 
or by a legal entity (e.g. Apache Foundation). The former may 
be what we actually have anyway.

Copying to advocacy as someone there may have the answer.
