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 ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
