[Erc-help] ERC assignment to the FSF

[Alex S. <al...@em...>]

If you contributed more than 10 lines of code to ERC, I would like to
ask you to assign your copyright to the FSF.  Our goal is to add ERC
to Emacs.

I am sending this mail to the list plus to all the people mentioned in
CREDITS.  Sorry if you got this mail twice (or more, hehe).

I have appended two files with instructions on how to proceed.  The
first of them covers all your past changes, the second convers past
and future changes to ERC.  I assume that most people will use the
second form.

If I remember correctly, what happens will be this:  You will need to
fill out the form and mail it to as...@gn....  They will get back
to you with another document which you will need to print and snail
mail back to them.  Sorry for the hassle; that's how we feed the
lawyers.

If you changed more than erc.el, the main file, please add to the list
of files you changed or added.

Alex.

DOCUMENT #1 FOR PAST CHANGES
--cut--

Please email the following information to as...@gn..., and we will
send you the assignment form that covers the changes you have already
written.  That form will cover subsequent corrections to those
changes, but it will not cover other unrelated future changes to the
same program.
 
Please use your full legal name (in ASCII characters) as the subject line of the message.
