Locale copyright assignments

  I just realized that I did not check whether the author has copyright
assignment with FSF. Is our policy to require copyright assignments for
locales as well? I'm wondering since it seems this has not been the
practice up to now, though it would be good if someone with access
to the assignment list could check.


  P.S.: The GNU maintainer manual also mentions at

	http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/Legally-Significant.html#Legally-Significant

tracking of legal significance of minor changes, writing "(tiny patch)"
in the ChangeLog etc. This is certainly not the current glibc practice.
To be clear, I'm not seeking to adopt it since I'm all for minimalizing
bureaucracy. But we should perhaps have a clear understanding of our
practices in this area now that many people are committing changes.

  I expected to get an "obviously an assignment is required" reply but
I got none, so maybe it is not so obvious. The locale files contain
little creativity, even less than e.g. the timezone files which at least
contain very detailed rationale for each record.

  So this is a ping and I'm also Cc'ing legal@gnu.org and Brett Smith
who was interested in locales copyright before as well:

	http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-locales/2011-q1/msg00017.html

(Note that this licence is still used for some locales.)

  P.S.: I'm not interested in fixing up any past (c) mistakes, someone
else or the FSF would have to spend their time on that. I just want
to clarify the policy for future submissions.

Brett actually had his last day on Friday. Josh Gay <jgay@fsf.org> has taken over his 
responsibilities.

That looks like a situation where we have not requested assignment in the past. If there is a 
particular contributor you want me to look up for you I can do that as well. The person involved 
in that thread (Keld Simonsen) does not have an assignment on file, but instead has a 
translation disclaimer in place. Other people on libc's translation team 
(http://translationproject.org/domain/libc.html) also just have a disclaimer, but no assignment. 
So I am guessing that assignment is not necessary in this situation.

That is something that Josh will probably want to look at.

Petr,

I think you're on the right path here and I appreciate your effort!

We don't have very clear policy here and we should, so you're blazing
a trail here for the community.

Whatever conclusion we reach we should document it in the wiki and
teach the new volunteers about it.

Cheers,
Carlos.

  Thanks for the info!

  So the legal position of FSF is that locale data is similar to
translations?

  Should we require locale contributors to sign and mail the disclaimer
then or is it fine if we simply do not require any paperwork at all?

  Thanks,
