Therefore all assignments requested from now on must be direct to the FSF. I will put updating the assignments web pages high on my todo list. Until then, here's the text I've been using in my mails to people asking for assignments. Feel free to borrow: -=-=-=-=-=-=-=- A guide to submitting changes to eCos is here: . Although in fact some of what is described at that link has been overtaken by recent events, so that instead of assigning copyright to eCosCentric, it is now required to assign copyright to the Free Software Foundation (FSF). This copyright assignment is a requirement in order for the FSF to defend eCos from license abuses. To request an assignment form, please fill in the form in the following link and e-mail it to : http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/gnulib/doc/Copyright/request-assign.future?revision=1&root=gnulib -=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Jifl -- eCosCentric Limited http://www.eCosCentric.com/ The eCos experts Barnwell House, Barnwell Drive, Cambridge, UK.
