FSF Releases Fiduciary License Agreement
[1]lisah writes "FSF Europe announced this week that it has released
its [2]Fiduciary License Agreement (FLA), which is being touted as an
'assignment of copyright.' The goal of the FLA is to allow free
software projects to place their copyright under the control of a
single group or trustee, though its usefulness is being debated
throughout the open source community since it only address the
authorship rights of a project, not the more intangible moral rights.
Furthermore, the agreement seems to have been created without the
involvement of a lot of lawyers and some members of the community
worry that the FLA might have unintended consequences if adopted
without sound legal advice."
