Hey Everyone, I have a few questions about the contributors agreement. I've gotten to that point where I would like to contribute where I can, but there are somethings which are rattling around in my head.
When this agreement states 'I' or 'me' who or what is that exactly. The reason I ask is because of section 2 condition 4: *you agree that I may register a copyright in your contribution and exercise all ownership rights associated with it;* If I create something which is fantastic say, I don't want an individual to own it, only the project/foundation. As a result the copyright is remains with the project not an individual. I'm trying to really find out where does the buck stop. Is this project a single entity which supports it's contributors as no one is given full rights, or is it one individual who is given rights for others intellectual property around a project? No offence Massimo, but I'm a little bit confused because your name is on every bit of copyright around web2py I've seen. What is stopping you taking out a copyright where you own entire rights so if it can be sold you can take the money and run? I understand why you have these, yet that is a bold condition which I'm having trouble making it clear. If someone could make it clearer by showing somewhere in the agreement removes such ownership of one individual I'll sign it straight away. Maybe I've missed something? Cheers, Rhys
