Every software project (except these in public domain) has an owner. These ownership rights are transferred. Owner is not bound by the license, as they're the ones licensing the software to others.
- rambojazz 6y agoThis only works with few owners/copyright-holders right? Unless: - they pay every single committer of the project - the committers agreed on a CLA
- emteycz 6y agoYeah the contributors must have transferred ownership to the project. It might not need to be a signed contract though, at least in my jurisdiction it's possible to agree implicitly if there's a notice about it. If not then whoever wrote it owns it - each individual piece of code; and it is the moment to call a lawyer.
