AW: Another question about license

Hi !

Currently the copyright situation looks like the following to me:

ATMReports.com officially holds copyright ownership for all parts that
came initially from the Lutris project because they bought it from them.

All contributors that have contributed code after that (to the current
CVS) and all future contributors are copyright owners of their
contributions.

Thats the way copyright ownership works in really open projects.
Everyone stays "owner" of its own inventions (and nobody is allowed to
remove copyright notices in the code) but everything MUST be and stay
open source. This is the basic idea of "Free Software" and enforced by
something like LGPL.

Nobody can change the license of "your" contributions without your
approval because you still are the copyright owner !

We have the same situation now in Enhydra / XMLC / DODS / all other
ObjectWeb projects... and there is NO problem with that.

This is also a very big difference of LGPL vs. e.g. Apache-license
(where copyright always goes to Apache).

Greetings.

Alfred
