No signatures needed and it's not a matter of ownership, per se. Just releasing it under the license is consent. Let's use a CVS analogy to convey my understanding of what happens in these situations. While you would control HEAD, the code you release under a given license becomes a branch over which you have no legal control -- unless the license says otherwise, of course. > Any differing opinions, or can we put this issue to bed? I have a cousin and a friend who are lawyers specializing in these fields. Let me ask one or both of them what the deal is.
