6 Between December 2003 and June 2004, developers were asked to sign
7 a copyright assignment form [1], transferring copyright to "Gentoo
8 Technologies, Inc., including its successors and assignees".
9
10 On 2005-06-13, GTI provided a "Release from Contract Requirements"
11 document [2], nullifying that contract. However, note that this
12 nullification took place after copyrights had been transferred from
13 GTI to the Foundation (on 2005-05-19).
14
15 a) Please clarify if (former) developers who have signed that form
16 still have (or ever had) any obligations against the Gentoo
17 Foundation. In other words, is the Foundation a "successor or
18 assignee" of GTI?
19
20 b) If the answer to a) is yes, could the Foundation release them from
21 these duties or obligations?
