[ECOS] Releasing Code into the Community

["Retallack, Mark (Siemens)" <mark dot retallack at siemens dot com>]

I have just finished the first version of a PPPD for eCos and I am starting
to think about its future. 

>From my point of view I would like to release it into the eCos community and
perhaps even have it added to the main repository. 

However before I do anything there are a few questions that need answering:

1) I have read http://sources.redhat.com/ecos/assign.html and understand the
reasons for handing the copyright over, however is the new copyright holder
still Redhat or would the FSF be better?.

2) When I do release it, would it be all right to zip the new package up,
include a quick readme file and post it onto this mailing list? (this would
be the easiest option). I don't really want to go into making a EPK package
or patch file yet.

3) Is it correct that I have to send two letters, one from "the company"
saying that I am allowed to release code and one from me saying that I hand
the copyright over?
