[OSGeo-Discuss] copyright question

[Bob Basques]

All,

I'm interested in this question as well, since we have some similar business needs related to non-profits and open-source project funding, things like who can/should claim to be the owner for donation seeking and such.  Just philosophical stuff right now, but who knows in the future.

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
