That's the thing, though.. it doesn't really work unless it is an all |
| 20 |
or nothing thing. Either we have to get the legal copyright of |
| 21 |
everything up-front in order to protect it if necessary, or we have to |
| 22 |
round up the authors and rightful copyright owners when that time comes. |

I'm inclined to say "screw it" and just hope Portage is never ripped |
| 25 |
off.. I've had too many people voice opinions against any kind of |
| 26 |
copyright assignment despite the fact that it would be in their best |
| 27 |
interest. It is their development time and efforts at stake here. If |
| 28 |
we offer to help protect that and they don't want it, we shouldn't force |
| 29 |
it on them. |
