We've discussed before about wanting to include ruby-mode.el in Emacs
23, but getting the paperwork from the authors has been difficult. They
have stated that they wish to assign copyright to the FSF, but they
haven't gone any further in the process, though I've asked them about it
several times.
I'm going to the International Ruby Conference next week, and I'm likely
to see them in person. Could I get the paperwork sent to me so I can get
them to sign the papers in person? I have a feeling that they simply
don't want to deal with the hassle of sending mail internationally, and
I could probably get the signatures needed if I simply presented them
with the documents and handled the mailing of them myself.
There are two authors, Yukihiro Matsumoto, Nobuyoshi Nakada.
thanks,
Phil

Did they ever answer the following question:

Richard Stallman said that if the two of you are willing to sign
assignments, we can ask a lawyer whether we need to worry about
unknown authors. Can you estimate how much code these other
contributors wrote (in total, and per author)?

They have said that the contributions from other authors have been
trivial.
