Well, that line is incorrect. He has assigned the copyright. If he added parts afterwards that are not assigned, then this should be Copyright (c) 2007 Free Software Foundation Copyright (c) 2007 Phil Sung If he didn't add such parts, he has no copyright. He can then only write "Author: Phil Sung" or "Written by Phil Sung" or such. The copyright then rests with the FSF, which is the whole point of the procedure. In any case, "or" is nothing to use in a copyright notice: the user can't pick by whom the work is copyrighted: that is certainly fixed. > You may use this Work under the GNU Free Documentation License, > version 1.2 or any later version published by the Free Software > Foundation (at your option); or the GNU General Public License, > version 2 or any later version published by the Free Software > Foundation (at your option); or the MIT (X11) License. This part is correct, though it should probably specify the version of the MIT license. -- David Kastrup
