A possible copyright-policy change for glibc
A possible copyright-policy change for glibc

The GNU C Library developers are asking
for comments on a proposal to stop requiring developers to assign their
copyrights to the Free Software Foundation. This mirrors the recent change by GCC, except that the
community is being consulted first. "The changes to accept patches
with or without FSF copyright assignment
would be effective on August 2nd, and would apply to all open branches.
The glibc stewards, like the GCC SC, continue to affirm the principles of
Free Software, and that will never change.
