[QGIS-Developer] C Hamilton Plugin Continunity

[Emma Hain]

Hi All
Sorry - Correction here
Assignment of Ownership - is not a correct term nor instrument here. So
under the GPL license, this is overridden so an organsiation cannot have
ownership of the plugin.
What happens then - are they happy to give up?
