Alfred: the copyright holder is, in law the holder of rights in the work. Legally, they are the owner. I was not making a negative statement about the community or the way it operates. I was making a statement about the legal status of ownership (technically: rights-holdership) of the work of collective authorship that constitutes the Hurd code. shap _______________________________________________ L4-hurd mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/l4-hurd
