A number of high-profile open source projects including GNU and Apache operate that way. The FSF will accept non-trivial changes to the GNU software only if you assign copyright to them. (Of course the license allows you to modify the software and distribute it on your own.) http://www.gnu.org/licenses/why-assign.html http://www.apache.org/licenses/icla.txt _______________________________________________ legal-talk mailing list legal-talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk
