Doing this would prevent such patches from being submitted upstream to |
| 7 |
projects with just as absurd a policy (copyright assigned to only them). This |
| 8 |
kind of policy really prevents open source from being any better than |
| 9 |
proprietary software-- if both projects require exclusive ownership of the |
| 10 |
code, then either one or the other can use it, not both. |
