Hi, For the record created by this mailing list thread, I would like to correct two mistakes:

When this code first entered the Org-mode repository, it was not in contrib/. The code entered in EXPERIMENTAL/. Both files where marked "Copyright (C) 2011-2012 FSF" and "Copyright (C) 2010-2012 FSF" from the first moment they entered into the repository, in agreement with Jambunathan's standing assignment with the FSF at the time. http://orgmode.org/cgit.cgi/org-mode.git/commit/EXPERIMENTAL/org-e-html.el?id=93ec2c7a5034944f5f6c77be6f37c49b4a697b72 http://orgmode.org/cgit.cgi/org-mode.git/commit/EXPERIMENTAL/org-e-odt.el?id=c2ea76e71034a161d875647b27cfbd72264b5d64 The files moved to contrib/ only in April of 2012, in a period when the exporter structure was fleshed out and completed. This move was clearly a staging event for a later move into core, rather than a change of copyright assignment. While unassigned files are are only allowed in contrib/, the reverse is not true and never was. > If FSF ever consults me on rights to my contributions to the above > files, my position will ambiguously be > > "Changes made by me to files ox-html.el, ox-odt.el and > ox-freemind.el are my own and I assert my rights over the changes. > Specifically, I will not acknowledge FSF as having the rights to the > said changes." > > Bastien has lost my trust very long back. More so when he resorted to > erasing attribution to my work. As far as I can see, the attribution is still in the manual and in all relevant files. What was removed seems to be a special acknowledgement of outstanding support for the maintainer. - Carsten
