Legal assigment forms for GDB

Legal assigment forms for GDB

[Robert Dubner]

I anticipate making contributions to GDB on an ongoing basis.  Apparently
there are forms the FSF wants filled out, and according to
https://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/ContributionChecklist, I am supposed to
ask for them here.  
 

I hereby request any forms I need.
 

Thanks very much,
 

Bob Dubner

I saw you made the same request for GCC. You can use the same
request-assign.future for both GCC and GDB:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gnulib.git/tree/doc/Copyright/request-assign.future

Just say GCC and GDB under
[What is the name of the program or package you're contributing to?]

Then just sent a copy to assign@gnu.org

Cheers,

Mark

I appreciate your response and response and your advice.  And, yes, I made
the same request twice.  I have long since learned that in the world of
legalisms, words don't necessarily mean what I think they mean, so I have
a tendency to try to follow instructions as precisely as I can.  

Thanks very much,

Bob Dubner
