O.K.

Just two words of warning. 

If one or more of the people contributing to the current patch cannot
get a copyright assignment you then have a problem. Effectively you
need to throw their part of the patch out and re-implement it with
code you can get an assignment for.

Secondly, please keep tight control and records for everything you add
to your ecosforge tree. When you want to contribute a patch we have
the same copyright issues. You need to be able to convince the eCos
maintainers that all the patch is covered by appropriate copyright
assignments. The more open and visible your process is the easier you
will find it to convince us.
