Re: Has FSF stopped processing copyright paperwork

Hi,

(Please note that this mail is *NOT* about the recent discussions about the
relationship with the FSF. AFAIK to date FSF copyright assignment is still
required to contribute to gcc and this request is solely about how to have one
signed.)

Few weeks later, I would like to know if anyone on the list knows if FSF is
still processing copyright assignment these days. Basically shall people
willing to sign one just have to be patient as processing is still on-going,
or if processing copyright assignment is fully frozen.

I do understand that both Covid 19 and the recent change of team/management
in FSF staff have impacted the copyright assignment processing time. However
right now it seems FSF does not reply anymore (at least to me) when asking
for status of papers submitted in late 2020. The last mail reply I had from
FSF (copyright-clerk@fsf.org) was in january. I had no answer when trying to
revive this private mail thread with FSF 2 weeks ago.

So anyone has some insider information about the FSF copright assignment
process ?

Cheers,
Romain

I don't have insider information, but I just received a confirmation of
a copyright assignment for glibc.

I have no insider information but you can try asking on
gnu-prog-discuss@gnu.org (I think that list is open)

I assume you're communicating with copyright-clerk@fsf.org ?

I got notified of copyright assignments related to GCC by 
copyright-clerk@fsf.org on April 5th, April 8th, April 22nd 
(two instances) and April 26th (today).

So the process seems to be operational.
