Copyright assignment policy

[ash contact bg]

Dear foundation members,

What is the policy of contributing to the GNOME project and expected copyright
assignment?

I am Alexander Shopov and I act as a co-ordinator of the Bulgarian Gnome
translation team.

Up till now, the copyrights have been assigned to the Free Software Foundation, Inc.

I have personally contacted the individual contributors who gave me their
permission (informal) to change the copyright assignments in the po-files for
those translators that had retained copyright and assign that to FSF.

I have acted so up till now in private conversations.

Is there an official policy of copyright assignment by contributors?

Who would hold principally the copyright?

I have acted up till now from practical standpoint - a common copyright holder
would find it actually more easy to manage and re-license code.

Furthermore - will there ever be relicensing of the software?

Kind regards:
