Yes, you can, as it seems that copyright cannot be transferred in the US without a signed instrument. If you have reliable advice otherwise, such as the mythical lawyer's advice, please link it. > [...] But I doubt > any of us are going to take CakePHP to court if and when they publish a > book with one of our code snippets in it. [...] If the foundation publishes a book of the Bakery without acknowledging the authorship and copyrights of any contributors, I think it's highly probable at least one of them would start legal proceedings. I would, but I'm not contributing, thanks to this thread. I think CakePHP Foundation should revise the Bakery Terms to only assert licence, not copyright, and track who contributes what or require formal copyright assignments, if there is any plan to take it commercial later. However, above all, IANAL and CakePHP Foundation should get its own warranted legal advice.
