By which you mean "it is the FSF legal staff's professional opinion You have misunderstood completely. I'm not talking about anyone's opinion. I am telling you my policy decision. If someone asks us, as a favor, not to include in Emacs some of the code he has assigned, we might in some situations grant his request -- but not if we have already started including it. As for what judges might decide about some other question, I am confident that all a person's changes to Emacs are assigned, and I will discuss the details with lawyers if I see a need. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way!
