When this code first entered the Org-mode repository, it was not in = contrib/. The code entered in EXPERIMENTAL/. Both files where marked = "Copyright (C) 2011-2012 FSF" and "Copyright (C) 2010-2012 FSF" from the = first moment they entered into the repository, in agreement with = Jambunathan's standing assignment with the FSF at the time. = http://orgmode.org/cgit.cgi/org-mode.git/commit/EXPERIMENTAL/org-e-html.el= ?id=3D93ec2c7a5034944f5f6c77be6f37c49b4a697b72 = http://orgmode.org/cgit.cgi/org-mode.git/commit/EXPERIMENTAL/org-e-odt.el?= id=3Dc2ea76e71034a161d875647b27cfbd72264b5d64 The files moved to contrib/ only in April of 2012, in a period when the = exporter structure was fleshed out and completed. This move was clearly = a staging event for a later move into core, rather than a change of = copyright assignment. While unassigned files are are only allowed in = contrib/, the reverse is not true and never was. > If FSF ever consults me on rights to my contributions to the above > files, my position will ambiguously be >=20 > "Changes made by me to files ox-html.el, ox-odt.el and > ox-freemind.el are my own and I assert my rights over the changes. > Specifically, I will not acknowledge FSF as having the rights to = the > said changes." >=20 > Bastien has lost my trust very long back. More so when he resorted to > erasing attribution to my work. As far as I can see, the attribution is still in the manual and in all = relevant files. What was removed seems to be a special acknowledgement = of outstanding support for the maintainer. - Carsten
