Good for who? If Joyent is concerned, they can take the action of creating a foundation. I don't think the community is concerned about this (I don't think Joyent is either). It would also mean there's never a concern over a company owning copyrights > to Node > I don't follow the logic here. The formation of a foundation doesn't change any copyright at all. In fact, Joyent does not own the copyright to the code. The copyright is shared by the individual contributors. It's possible that the contributors employed by Joyent have signed a Copyright Assignment Agreement, but even if they did, forming a foundation wouldn't change that. The policy that Joyent put in place is that contributors retain their rights and only grant a license to use/modify/sublicense/etc. to Joyent. -- -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
