Copyright Assignment / SharingCopyright Assignment / SharingPosted Mar 21, 2008 10:11 UTC (Fri) by anton (guest, #25547)In reply to: Copyright Assignment / Sharing by kripkenstein Parent article: OpenOffice.org moving to LGPLv3
AFAIK the FSF requires complete assignment to themWhen the project becomes a GNU project, the copyright holders can choose whether they want to transfer copyright to the FSF, or whether they want to keep it. We (the Gforth project) chose to transfer the copyright, because the FSF is better equiped to legally defend the freedom of the software. If the copyright is transferred to the FSF, they ask all further contributors for a copyright assignment or a copyright disclaimer (which puts the contribution in the public domain).
