[There is this concept in US copyright law called a joint work. I'm ignoring that concept for the moment basically because I don't understand how it applies to either software or text developed using an open process. As far as I can tell, no one else understands it either. Please be aware that this may be a huge gap in my advice.] So, here we have a conflicting definitions problem. The author of a work retains the copyright interest. That's true if if I'm listed as an author or not. If I write text and do not assign the copyright to someone, I retain copyright interest in that text. So the sixth person still owns the copyright interest in the text they write even if they are not listed. That means if you have unlisted authors who have contributed significant chunks of text, you still need to get their clearance to do anything interesting with that text. _______________________________________________ Techspec mailing list Techspec@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/techspec
