Some contributors of Classpath might be annoyed if their work was being used under conditions that are not according to the terms of the license. However, enforcing the license in court (if this was ever needed) would be easier if the Free Software Foundation can claim to speak in the name of all authors. For this reason, and for others that are specific to the intellectual property system of the United States, GNU projects tend to be a bit picky about getting signatures from all contributors. Please do not see this as a personal offence. See also <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/why-assign.html>. For getting the assignment form, please send an e-mail with your name (as it appears in your passport) and your current postal address to the maintainer of GNU Classpath, Mark Wielaard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. By the way, thank you very much for your work. I think I can speak in the name of everyone here if I say that we are looking forward to your contributions! -- Sascha Sascha Brawer, [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.dandelis.ch/people/brawer/ _______________________________________________ Classpath mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/classpath
