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. - -- Greg Sabino Mullane greg@turnstep.com PGP Key: 0x14964AC8 200711081016 http://biglumber.com/x/web?pk=2529DF6AB8F79407E94445B4BC9B906714964AC8 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iD8DBQFHMyqrvJuQZxSWSsgRAw0hAJ9DD2gwr4nlmeoPNPeifXTloWip6ACgwv9z WQTV1ccmRQ0EBbomxQUxeak= =zng7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
