Dropping entirely the copyright notice would make it impossible to properly attribute the work when used under that license. However, I have since realized that the current notices say "The GNOME Project" and not "the GNOME Foundation". The latter is a clearly defined entity and leads to the assignment issues you mentionned. The former is a name for an informal collective, and I think that solves the issue you raised. Does that look good to you? -- Alexandre Franke GNOME Hacker & Foundation Director _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
