GnuTLS, copyright assignment, and GNU project governance

It's fair to say I'd never heard of it before so it's clearly not well-covered in the UK (I get almost all my news from Radio4/World service and LWN plus a few other specialist sites), but then I don't find that surprising - most people here wouldn't think it interesting/noteworthy, in the same way that Debconf and FOSDEM aren't. The world service gives a completely different news perspective to the UK BBC, and I reckon is about as unbiased as a news service can reasonably be (as someone else pointed out, total objectivity is pretty-much impossible).
