No. Such blanket assignments have been done for a few companies, but not for individuals, as far as I know. (I don't know why.) > Anyway, I will sent the copyright assignment, most likely, tomorrow.

Rather than remember what you've done in the past ;-), I want you to have an actually working development environment for GCC on GNU/Hurd natively. > >> Weekly reports. > > I will setup a user page.
