It’s the current maintainer who wants copyright assignment. He does not want to hand over the project to someone who refuses to lead it in a way consistent with his vision.
Rather walk more slowly than walk in the wrong direction.
- cm3 10y agoIsn't that even worse then? I mean, the FSF has a good track record and less people would object to assigning copyright over to the org.
- timv 10y agoAs far as I can tell, the current maintainer wants copyright assigned to the FSF. He is not willing to hand the project over to someone who isn't willing to do that. The proposed new maintainer is not willing to assign copyright to the FSF, and so seems to be forking the project instead. But it's not 100% clear exactly what's going on.
