Hi > What confuses me though is that we're worrying about git authors whereas I believe that if someone contributes a file without listing themselves as the authors in the header (for the BSD case), didn't the author concede rights over the code by doing so? > Without an ICLA (or an equivalent) this is not the case. Copyright automatically applies. They may not even own rights to the code they commit if their employment contract says otherwise.
