11 I think that this is starting to go off on a tangent, but a lot has
12 already been done on that front using the FSFe FLA as a starting
13 point. I wouldn't suggest that somebody just create something from
14 scratch. (And for those who are worried, the general thinking to date
15 is that it would be 100% voluntary.)

17 That said, I really don't see how assignment helps here. I suggest
18 taking any discussion around that to a separate thread unless there is
19 a clear tie-in, and I don't think this is a direction Council is
20 likely to go in anyway.
