I'd like some definitive resolution to this issue or list-wide understanding of where things are at. I've been trying to follow your saga, and my understanding is: - You signed over contribution rights to FSF at one point. Is this correct? - You have contacted FSF (or Emacs?) and requested that these rights be revoked/reversed? - Has the FSF (or Emacs?) provided any statement/ruling on whether or not they will honor your request? I hear you, and you definitely make it known that you would like to undo what you once did... but my perception is that your emails speak as though there is no agreement in place at all... but you *did* sign the contract at one point, right? I've not contributed to code, so I've never seen the FSF papers and don't really know what they entail... but if they are signing away rights to future contributions, it would seem that your work is under that umbrella until *they* provide confirmation that the umbrella no longer exists (*and* no longer exists retroactively). Just trying to reconcile my understanding of your situation with how you write about it. Thanks, John > > Jambunathan K. >
