Update: Six more devs and ex-devs have replied, for a total of 13. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Three of them signed the copyright form; they joined between |
| 19 |
December 2003 and June 2004. |

Ten of the replies indicated they haven't signed anything. Of these, |
| 22 |
two devs joined in November 2003 or before, the others in January 2006 |
| 23 |
or after, |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
From your replies and from other sources, the conclusion is |
| 26 |
that copyright assignment took place only between December 2003 |
| 27 |
and June/July 2004. See also [4] for a provisional timeline (mostly |
| 28 |
compiled by robbat2). |
