Since these contributions are largely derivative works of a project for which the ASF holds a copyright, is it possible for contributors to the sourceforge project to assign their copyright to the ASF and avoid any mess whatsoever? (I suspect this is not possible because the ASF may need to be assured in some way that the contributions are indeed original works and being an "unofficial" project outside of the ASF umbrella makes this difficult) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
