There are all kinds of crazy people in the world who claim things they don't have the right to, but to pursue the matter ad absurdum, any lawsuit over a small typo is going to be thrown out for failing a de minimis test. Nevertheless, I understand wanting to err on the side of safety. Politics and courtesy probably play a larger role here than actual legal concerns. And I certainly agree with Jonathan that IANAL. :) > Marvin said something about implicitly giving up copyright, in the > previous big thread about licenses (in sep+oct). I must have said something about granting implicit license under the license of the project when you provide a patch, which is definitely not the same thing as implicitly giving up copyright.
