I agree that you should not assign the copyright. If you don't assign the copyright, you don't give away your own rights. Even if you do, gnu grants your rights back to you. This isn't part of GPL. It is part of the assignment agreement. On Wednesday 05 January 2005 12:20 am, Ales Hvezda wrote: > So here we are today: a large code base that no one person > owns the full copyright to. And that's the way I like it. :) I like it that way too. It should also be hosted at several places, not just as mirrors. You want it so that if one site, perhaps the main site, is lost, the project continues. If there are enough primary sites, the project cannot be shut down.
