> is this only financial or is there some sort of legal coverage ? > Our initial goal is to provide a corporate entity and accounting for projects. We are talking about growing it to provide education and assistance with retail distribution, group discounts on server colocation, etc etc, but I won't go into details on things we haven't firmed up yet. Copyright assignment, if a project wants/needs it, but there is no obligation so long as the project remains under a GPL compatible copyleft license. Unlike GNU, if you do copyright assignment, it'd be a 2-way agreement. We are not equipped nor are looking to go in the direction of legal coverage. If legal needs arise we should be able to peer up with the FSF, SFLC, or other groups more equipped to handle the legal end of things. > do we have to assign copyright a-la GNU ? > Nope, but AFAIK, you don't for GNU either. Unlike GNU, we don't put any technical limitations on your code - so long as it remains copyleft. Your development structure should not change by joining, you just gain a legal entity for your project so you can handle group funds, donations, etc properly. Wesnoth is your project, not ours - Copyleft Games Group would be an umbrella you fit into as a "Member Project" but we don't own you. We're a voluntary organization. If the org becomes corrupt or it just doesn't work out, you could leave cleanly.
