You're making a general statement (that copyright assignment is bad), but hanging on to a specific example [1]. Look at other projects that require copyright assignment, such as Evolution, and see whether the points you make apply equally. - Jeff [1] I'm not particularly interested in contributing to Helix for related reasons (but not solely the issue of copyright assignment, which I believe to be fair in most cases). -- linux.conf.au 2005: Canberra, Australia http://linux.conf.au/ "Not to mention that there's simply no way to explain what a 'window manager' is without descending into 'PC Load Letter?!' technobabble." - Havoc Pennington -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
