I am sorry the letter was not clear. The reference to the "eCos port to Evaluation design O/S Kit for H8S/2674" is merely a reference to your copyright assignment agreement with eCosCentric. This copyright assignement agreement covered the above-mentioned work as well as all future contributions, so all your other work and all future assignments are already covered. There is no requirement for you to enter into a new agreement with the FSF to continue making contributions to eCos. eCosCentric's own transfer of copyright assignment to the FSF transfered all your existing eCos contributions to the FSF, and the transfer of your copyright assignment agreement with eCosCentric to the FSF means that all your future contributions will now be assigned to the FSF. In other words, the copyright assignment agreement you had with eCosCentric is now between you and the FSF. > > If the other stuff is not covered by this copyright assignment then I > would need to assign further copyright assignments concerning the CAN > and the other stuff. As above, everything is already covered by the copyright assignment, as well as future contributions. You do not need a new assignment agreement with the FSF to cover future contributions and the FSF own the copyright of all your existing contributions. This also applies to anyone else who had an assignment agreement with eCosCentric who received a similar letter. -- Alex Managing Director/CEO eCosCentric Limited Tel: +44 1223 245571 Barnwell House, Barnwell Drive Fax: +44 1223 248712 Cambridge, CB5 8UU, UK www.ecoscentric.com Reg in England and Wales, Reg No 4422071 > > I would like to ask you for a copyright assignemnt form for me personal: > > Uwe Kindler > Eichenweg 2 > 04626 Schmoelln > GERMANY > uwe_kindler@web.de > > and for the company I work for: > > cetoni GmbH > Am Wiesenring 6 > 07554 Korbussen > GERMANY > uwe.kindler@cetoni.de > http://www.cetoni.de > > > Thank you very much and best regards > > Dipl.
