Subject: Why the FSF collects copyright assignments.
Date: Mon, 01 Oct 2018 04:00:52 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <37a015230e6aaa658a85809671cc98a0@redchan.it> (raw)
The paramount reason Eben Moglen has the FSF accepting contributions
only with copyright assignment is because the grantor of a license that
is a gratuity (no consideration (read: usually money) given) can remove
the permission regarding the use of his property at his pleasure.
(Regardless of the story was promulgated for the public)
