Hi Gary
Regarding your recent bunch of checkins.
It was my understanding that until the licensing issue has been resolved
either way with Red Hat that the maintainers still require code
assignments to Red Hat (as per Jifl's recent email to our friend from
Liverpool), although the maintainers themselves are free to check in
their own personal contributions.
The purpose of this was that, if in the event Red Hat agreed, the code
would be assigned to a NFP organisation as per the gentlemans agreement
with all the maintainers. The maintainers at eCosCentric have certainly
been adhering to this policy.
As the ecos repository now stands, if an agreement were to be made with
Red Hat to assign the code to a NFP organisation to enable it to derive
revenue from licensing of the code, the maintainers would also now
require assignment from Mind as well as themselves.
Could you please explain your position with regard to the policy?
Thanks
-- Alex
