Alan,
I've made some fairly significant changes to perl in the process of
integrating perl into Solaris. I've *never* added Sun copyrights as a
result. I have legal approval to contribute to perl, and most of the
contributions are really porting tweaks, so there's no IP that's worth
protecting in any case. In every case I've got the fixes back into the
upstream source before completing the Solaris integration, and that's
much easier to do if I'm not cluttering the source with a load of
questionable copyright assignments.
Plus Roland doesn't work for Sun, so I don't understand why he should
be putting *our* copyright on *his* work. Adding the CDDL to files
he's created from scratch is one thing (and even that's debatable if
he wants to get them accepted upstream), but I really don't think
porting changes should need us to assert copyright - it seems kinda
... discourteous?
You make two excellent points here - I still think getting
clarification from Bonnie is the right thing to do since I don't
understand the issues very well.
Hi,
I've been trying to follow this thread, and at this point I'm getting
confused.
If someone can send me a pointer to a source hierarchy and specific
questions that need answers, I'm happy to help figure this out.
Thanks.
Bonnie
