Hi everyone, rms noticed that several CVS developers(*) have made copyright assignments to the FSF over the years (though by no means all). Also, the copyright to the package as a whole is, according to the HACKING file, held by the FSF. He wondered how all this came about. Was it treated as a GNU package in the early days, or something? Any light you can shed would be appreciated.
Thanks, Karl (*) Specifically, I see these assignments have been received: FORE Systems 1999-11-09 Disclaims past and future changes to free software by Rajesh Vaidheeswarran.
