(Sent via my phone; apologies for the formatting) To clarify: Clutter (currently) comes with a copyright assignment. The copyright waiver has been introduced for small patches attached to Bugzilla to avoid going through the copyright assignment process.
The waiver and the assignment are two orthogonal approaches, and they should not be confused. I explained this in various venues - including at GCDS. We, in Intel, are currently working towards a solution but it will take some time (as usual, when lawyers are involved). Ciao, Emmanuele.

I'm not a lawyer, so I'm very ready for someone to just tell me that I'm wrong, but: Clutter's isn't a copyright assignment. It's a copyright waiver, placing the code in the public domain: http://bugzilla.openedhand.com/waiver.html My concern is that code without a copyright holder cannot really be under any license. For instance, nobody could go to court to defend abuse of LGPL code in Clutter: http://git.clutter-project.org/cgit.cgi?url=clutter/tree/COPYING if nobody owns the copyright in that code. I hope that issue can be addressed. Whether I want to assign copyright is a different matter for me. -- murr...@murrayc.com www.murrayc.com www.openismus.com _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list foundation-l...@gnome....
