I was told by my manager in 2019 that papers were in place for Wave Computing, after which I posted a number of submissions without any questions. I assumed that the same would be good even now. The people who dealt with the FSF paperwork back then are no longer with Wave, so I can't easily verify at my end. > >>> > >>> Thanks, > >>> Faraz > >> > >> I do see an entry matching that in copyright.list, covering GDB (as well > >> as many other projets).

This all sounds very reasonable to me (and I do see the two companies in the copyright assignments list), but I think the situation is complicated enough to warrant a question to the FSF copyright clerk. At least that would be my suggestion; if Joel and others think the issue is clear, I'm okay with their decision.
