All, I'm interested in this question as well, since we have some similar business needs related to non-profits and open-source project funding, things like who can/should claim to be the owner for donation seeking and such. Just philosophical stuff right now, but who knows in the future.

A commercial company has expressed issues contributing if the copyright is not owned by a trustworthy independent organization such as OsGeo. Is anybody able to answer this? TIA.
