I realize that many of would prefer to avoid handling legal issues more than you would prefer to avoid paying taxes or being infected with some foreign contagion, but these problems are not going to disappear on their own. Therefore, here is another prodding message to encourage discussion and action on the issue of copyright assignment. The daunting task of creating segregated KDE ebuilds was met successfully through the hard work of a few, and this is another large task that will likely require effort to resolve. As with the ebuilds, I'm hoping to entertain the thought of at least one developer deciding not to skip over the issue. The managing developers need to address this before it becomes a serious problem in the future. -- Anthony Gorecki Ectro-Linux Foundation
