Isn't that what actually happened in the GPL-Violations.org project with netfilter?
- klakier 10y agoIt makes me happy to see this. But still I'd advise using developer agreements, if you want the control of the project. And correct license of course!
- cm3 10y agoAnd it's proof that like Oracle suing Google over 10 lines of code, it's enough for one or more contributors to claim ownership of some (small) part as a basis to take, say, Netgear to court. Thus you don't necessarily need to assign copyright over to a single person or organization.
