I originally wrote IMCC was a separate module, and I even released it on CPAN. For a long time it lived in languages/imcc but Leo rolled it in at some point.
Copyrighting my code does not limit my ability to contribute it to a project under a dual copyright. I have never heard what the final decision was about copyrights, but at some point it was a choice of Artistic, LGPL, or some other. The only license I really have a problem with is the plain GPL, which I don't think Perl uses anyway. When someone makes a decision, or informs me of the existing policy, I'll be happy to commit a header that licenses all of those files to the Perl Foundation under whatever copyright they choose. -Melvin At 10:46 AM 7/3/2005, Will Coleda wrote:
I was under the impression that for any code to be included in the parrot repository, that the copyright had to be assigned to the Perl Foundation. But there are exceptions to this throughout the repository, even in core files like imcc/main.c (Copyright Melvin Smith). We have a file with a Microsoft copyright in the repository. What's the official policy? Is it documented somewhere in the repository? (If not, can we get it documented?) Regards.
