Hi,
Before we go to far with the discussion here, I would first ask all of
the core devs if they really would like to do that.
Without an agreement in place, the code is owned by each contributor
separately. I know of quite a few core devs who are not keen on ceding
their copyright to QGIS.ORG, if the goal is to undermine the GPL
license.
I am also not sure if QGIS.ORG is ready to prepare such an ownership
agreement.
Personally, I fail to understand what the benefits are, if we go this
route. On the contrary - I think we are risking to loose many core
contributors if we do that.
Greetings,
Andreas
