[OSGeo-Discuss] copyright question

[Bart van den Eijnden (OSGIS)]

Hi list,

today I was in a meeting about GeoExt, and the following question came up:

"Is it possible for OsGeo to take copyright for a project which yet has 
to form and has not passed incubation as such?"

A commercial company has expressed issues contributing if the copyright 
is not owned by a trustworthy independent organization such as OsGeo.

Is anybody able to answer this? TIA.

Best regards,
Bart
