One thing to consider is maybe trying to get RedHat to contribute the

in that? Would you be willing to require FSF copyright assingments for
jffs2?


That works for me. In fact when I told Red Hat I was no longer going to
collect copyright assignments for them for JFFS2, I had already
suggested they might as well assign it to the FSF too, and I think they
agreed.


I'm not averse to collecting assignments to the FSF.

That's great.


Now the only issue is getting Webbink to make the assignment. Until then you can't get the assignment from Ferenc Havasi (unless you and he don't mind him assigning to eCosCentric first, and we'll assign to the FSF later as with all the other eCos contribs currently). The reason is that the FSF won't accept any other assignments until it's officially adopted, which won't happen till the RH copyright is assigned.

I suppose it might be an opportunity for you to fire an e-mail off to Webbink reminding/confirming that JFFS2 can be included and asking about the status, because we've heard "very soon now" from Webbink for months! It's now 8 months since the original announcement.
