Hi,
I haven't quite figured out the benefits apart from being recognized by GNU as
part of the ecosystem. Here's the page for getting stumpwm evaluated by GNU:
http://www.gnu.org/help/evaluation.html
I was wrong about reassigning copyright. After reading the evaluation I still
don't want to get the official GNU label since it requires realigning the
project's philosophy with GNU's aggressive free software policies. Specifically
everything in stumpwm and it's dependencies must be gpl. This means that a
number of contrib modules will have to be removed and adding new dependencies
in the future will be restricted.
PS I've added Shawn to the discussion. I defer to his wishes since he was the
original author.
