Who holds the copyright on sunrpc code in glibc? Is gcc a strategic
project? From
http://gcc.gnu.org/contribute.html#legal
If a contributor is reluctant to sign a copyright assignment for a
change, a copyright disclaimer to put the change in the public domain
is acceptable as well. The copyright disclaimer form is different than
an employer disclaimer form. A copyright assignment is more convenient
if a contributor plans to make several separate contributions.
