Hello folks, Somewhere back in this thread I mentioned contacting Steve Ansari about some nice vector to raster code that he posted on the user list last year. Steve is happy for this code to go into the library (Jody suggested it join the raster to vector code in the process module) so I pointed him to the contributor's agreement.
I've just heard back from Steve and, as a US Govt employee, he feels that he can't proceed with the agreement. Apparently, his employer views the code as being in the public domain so it's fine for us to use it but not possible for him to sign over intellectual property (I'm cc-ing this to Steve and he can correct me if I've mangled that). Steve wondered if I could take ownership of the code to get around this, while he could still field queries about it and (I hope) benefit from any improvements that we come up with. Is that kosher ? Any other suggestions ? cheers Michael ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Register Now for Creativity and Technology (CaT), June 3rd, NYC.
