Well this is the first thing before I can really do much else with this or
any other patches I'm afraid.... we need a proper copyright assignment to
make it legal. The reason is at
<http://sources.redhat.com/fom-serv/ecos/cache/47.html> and is similar to
the Free Software Foundation's procedure.
There are in fact two forms to deal with I'm afraid, both described at
<http://sources.redhat.com/ecos/assign.html> - a disclaimer from your
employer (since most employers claim ownership over employee's code) as
well as the assignment itself.
This form assigns the copyright to Red Hat. I thought Red Hat is not
involved with eCos anymore. Do you still want the copyright assigned to
Red Hat?
