IANAL (but Luis almost is), but I don't think you can "automatically" assign copyright. Contributors would have to sign something and send it in. Requiring copyright assignment would put a choke hold on new contributors. Just suggesting it would make no real difference, because the people who would bother are most likely regular contributors, i.e. people we don't have a hard time getting in touch with. -- Shaun _______________________________________________ gnome-doc-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-doc-list
