The copyright for Parrot is being signed over to YAS[*]. This is similar to the situation with the copyright for GNU software being assigned to the FSF. Unless there is some P5EE ad-hoc committee that exists as a legal entity to which copyright can be assigned for P5EE, assigning the copyright for P5EE to YAS would be a reasonable option. The other issue that needs to be resolved is the viral nature of the GPL, and whether code built using P5EE is infected with the GPL. That's a separate can of worms, and probably not worth discussing in depth (yet again) at the moment. 'Specially if the dual license is reused here. :-) Z. *: I haven't been following those discussions in great detail, but this may be a temporary move; it still simplifies issues in the long run.
