Thanks for your reply. I was hoping to get some feedback on how other
Orgmode contributors see this issue (although this list is obviously
self-selective). The problem I have is that I'm not a lawyer or a
businessman and not a native English speaker. I do know enough though
not to lightly sign documents I don't fully understand.
At this point, I'm considering to actually get proper legal advice about
this form, because I'm not satisfied in the state of affairs where I
have stopped participating in the Orgmode community because I do not
understand the copyright assignment form.
Cheers,
Viktor
