Am I correct to assume that contributors only retain rights to their contributed code, not the code of the entire project under which the copyright applies? So, if someone wanted they could roll their code into another product, but not the whole code of pacman? On 10/5/06, Aaron Griffin <aaronmgriffin@gmail.com> wrote:

is it possible to share the copyright ownership? when i first contributed to OpenOffice.org, i had to sign the jca:

This is interesting. This gives both parties full rights to the source in question, if I'm not mistaken. That is, Judd still has full rights as if he were sole copyright holder, as does a contributor on the code he contributed. Is this a correct interpretation?
