Huh. I see your name right there in the ChangeLog. I'm not sure how my sed script missed you. Sorry. >Apology accepted. The reason I'm not contributing more is the requirement >to assign copyright to a for-profit organization. Sorry. Yeah. That bothered me a little when I first had to do it and, I have to admit, it bothered me when I was at Red Hat and it bothers me now too. I think you've hit on a real barrier to entry there and since we now have a dataset of two rather than one we can really claim that we're right. I have to ask you have to do something similar with the FSF. Would that be an issue for you too? Probably not since it isn't a for-profit entity. The other odd thing is that newlib has no requirements for an assignment and it is an integral part of Cygwin so I have to wonder how Red Hat reconciles that. cgf -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
