6	It took my university, who had no rational reason to own any of my
7	work, six months to sign the FSF's paperwork for a really simple bug
8	fix. By the time they decided they didn't care about owning my work,
9	it was April and I was graduating in May. They seriously asked me
10	whether I would just wait to submit the work until after I graduated
11	since it would be so much easier for them.
