[AIUI...] Copyright is automatic (Berne &c). You CAN add declarations because they're just a convenient comment to avoid having to research who ACTUALLY holds copyright over a work. Of course, if you add the wrong declaration, that just becomes confusing -- e.g. if you put "© 2009 Alice" based on VCS metadata, but Alice was just committing a patch she received as a .diff from Bob. > # Copyright (C) 2010 Software Freedom Conservancy AFAIK adding a line like that has NO EFFECT on actually assigning copyright to the SFC; doing so requires a copyright assignment form. > http://producingoss.com/en/copyright-assignment.html AIUI these CLAs are intended as an alternative to copyright assignment. I'm not familiar with them. _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list darcs-users@darcs.net http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
