I've resent my eMail; maybe this one will elicit a response.

Personally, I don't really care who I assign the copyright to - I just
think it is a sad state of affairs that getting the legal work done
takes much more time and is much more aggravating than writing the code
all the fuss is about. However, before I can assign the copyright to
anyone else I have to know what happened to my original copyright
assignment, since I can hardly assign it to anyone with the prior
assignment to RedHat floating around somewhere.
