Message-Id: <20020706204811.A80396D9BC@www.fastmail.fm> X-SW-Source: 2002-07/txt/msg00005.txt.bz2 Hi Jifl I understand the problem, and if i was not traveling around alaska i would help out. Anyway, from a "marketing perspective", a constant trickle of patches as apposed to none and then a flood, looks better. At the moment it looks like eCos development is dead. Even an explanation to the delay on ecos-patches may help. If you are continuing with the RH copywrite assignemt i guess my ftpclient patch is ok to go straight in. How does it normaly work for other open source code? I thought that so long as the copywrite owner was clearly stated in each file, it was not a problem, unless you wanted to change the licence. Then you need to contact each person and get the OK. Isn't that how Mozila did it?
