Sorry for not commenting earlier. A few minor grammar point (From me
the dyslexic!). Last sentence, first paragraph. It should be
"protect_ing_ the future of eCos."

That sentence and some of the others are rather long. Its worth
remembering that English is the second/third language for many of the
people using eCos. If i have to double take a sentence, im sure other
will struggle.

Third paragraph:

"...they are willing to accept assignments of code and documentation
copyright for new contributions..."

I would move the word copyright before assignments. 

I would also change "This declaration..." to "A declaration..." The
use of This in this way suggests its refering to a subject in the
preview paragraph, when in fact its referring to what that link points
to. 

I might also be good to add a paragraph on how you revoke a current
assignment agreement with RedHat.
