I'm a nubie both to this list and to this topic. Please let me know if there's a more appropriate place for this inquiry. Thanks.
I provide a query-engine product under GPL. GPL appeals because I can provide the codebase for free to those who don't mind the GPL licensing restrictions, and I can also dual-license the code to those who wish to keep their own codebase proprietary. Accordingly, while I very much want to encourage people to submit bug reports and patches, I also want to maintain sole ownership of the product. I understand that copyright might become complicated if I allow outside contributions, and I want to make sure I understand all the legal issues of doing so. Can anybody provide me pointers to further information on this topic? TIA, Howard -- license-discuss archive is at http://crynwr.com/cgi-bin/ezmlm-cgi?3
