BTW: what are exactly the legal consequences of assigning copyright to the FSF, especially (but not limited to) concerning copyright of future works? Is there any document on the web summarizing this? (I'm asking because there is at least one person around here who got very dissatisfied with his FSF copyright assignment, and I'd prefer to know what the pitfalls might be.) And for the record: you might consider the LPPL (LaTeX Project Public Licence), which is more liberal than GPL, but more restrictive than PD (and need not be restricted to LaTeX-related works). > Achim.
