Linus on documenting patch provenanceLinus on documenting patch provenancePosted May 25, 2004 0:21 UTC (Tue) by mbp (subscriber, #2737)In reply to: Linus on documenting patch provenance by JoeBuck Parent article: Linus on documenting patch provenance Another problem with the FSF system is that (when last I looked) the contributor indemnified the FSF from some legal liabilities arising from the contribution. Much as I love the FSF, I am not going to personally stand between them and a psychopath like SCO. Would they hold me to it? Probably not. But the risk is there. Taking on a potentially unbounded legal liability is a heavy disincentive to signing the FSF assignment.
