Hi; A long while back, I asked if it was a requirement for ebuild submiters to assign copyright. I was told no, GPL license was entirely sufficient. I think this has changed, or was untrue. Now, Ive already given up on the submission process, but I _am_ curious about this policy, as I havent yet given up on Gentoo itself. Paul set <at> pobox.com (two ancient ebuilds I submitted have 'recently' received feedback, requesting reassignment of copyright. Im not referencing them, as one touches on some of the issues that caused me to punt on contributing ebuilds, and I really dont care to discuss that.) -- gentoo-dev <at> gentoo.org mailing list
