Re: Where to send larger patches?

Hi Guido,

If you have changed employers then you really ought to get a new
copyright assignment.  Most employers assume that they own the
copyright to any work that you produce, so unless you have an explicit
clause in your employment contract giving you the copyright to your
work, you need another assignment.

: If I need to send in new disclaimers, where do I get them?

Fill out the form below and send it off.

Cheers
