Hi there,
I am running a free software project and would like to provide forms for
copyright assignment so that contributors assign the code for me. I have come
across your forms at the following link
http://ecos.sourceware.org/assign.html
Could I use these as a basis for my own forms as I can't find any stock
standard open source copyright assignment forms?
The FSF has something similar. You might want to ask them. If you in
future intend to become a GNU project it might be worth going that way
from day 1.
Is the eCos copyright assignment copyrighted? I don't see a copyright
clause with in. [snake swallows its tail and creates Benzene] Jifl, a
question for you i think.
The original text was written while we were at Cygnus/Red Hat, and co
copyright in the assignment text is probably held by them. The FSF
assignment text is probably safer.
You can look at:
http://ftp.xemacs.org/old-beta/FSF/assign.changes
or
http://ftp.xemacs.org/old-beta/FSF/assign.future
Depending on whether you wish the assignment to be a one-off, or to assign
all future changes as well.
Jifl
