| Doing this would prevent such patches from being submitted upstream to |
| 9 |
| projects with just as absurd a policy (copyright assigned to only |
| 10 |
| them). This kind of policy really prevents open source from being any |
| 11 |
| better than proprietary software-- if both projects require exclusive |
| 12 |
| ownership of the code, then either one or the other can use it, not |
| 13 |
| both.-- |

No, it just means that the patches in question would have to go in |
| 16 |
mirror://gentoo/ rather than in ${FILESDIR}. |
