This is part of the reason for trying to revamp copyright policy. See |

I don't see much point in arguing over whether copyright assignment is |
| 21 |
or isn't happening today. It makes more sense to move forward with a |
| 22 |
better policy that we can all agree reflects reality, and is better |
| 23 |
aligned with "best practices." |
