It can yes, however there are a lot of developers who refuse to work on projects that require it, so it's a trade-off you have to make. It's not necessarily a bad thing, but there is a cost to requiring assignment. (I have one or two patches I've submitted to various projects which are sitting unapplied because I didn't realise they required assignment) -- James _______________________________________________ legal-talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk
