Many years ago when I submittes big-ish diffs to GNU Emacs I *had* to assign copyright to FSF. At that time it was a blanket assignment - meaning it was a single assignment for all future changes as well. There was a loose threshold on size of contribution before they would insist on an assignment. Things could have changed in the recent past, but I'd be VERY surprised because of the rationale for the reassignment itself - which is to help fight potential copyright/GPL violations easily if something like that were to happen. -- Sriram Karra ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
