He is the only author so far, and applied for the FSF assignment right
away. I'm not the guru when it comes to licenses, but I think he would
like to have UFFS on a dual license, an eCos license and a separate LGPL
version for the current users to continue with. Is there a problem with
this?
Dual licensing _might_ be a problem because only the copyright holder
can decide how to license the code. If the copyright assignment to the
FSF has not already been made then I would suggest that Ricky delays
copyright assignment until we have a firm plan of action.
Ricky, could you clarify whether copyright in the UFFS sources has
already been assigned to the FSF?
I've got reply from FSF:
"Thanks for your interest in contributing to free software. The Free
Software Foundation only takes assignment on code that is becoming a
part of the GNU project..."
So no, it hasn't been assigned to the FSF.
Best regards,
Ricky.
