Both of these points are irrelevant to my point of view, neither were 
being disputed.

The issue of assignment agreement only affects submissions to the 
official tree, it doesn't affect what I call a contribution which is 
anything made publically available under the GPL.

I am happy not to change RedHat's process.  But it is possible to still 
contribute changes under the GPL, that contribution will be made 
available somewhere outside of cygwin.com.


Thank you for your points of view,
